Group number of halogens

Group 17

Meaning of 'halogen'

Producer of salt

Physical state of F2F_2 at room temp

Pale yellow gas

Physical state of Cl2Cl_2 at room temp

Pale green-yellow gas

Physical state of Br2Br_2 at room temp

Dark red volatile liquid

Physical state of I2I_2 at room temp

Purple-black solid

Halogens as electrical conductors

Poor conductors

Define sublimation

Solid to gas without passing through liquid phase

Which halogen sublimates when heated?

Iodine (I2I_2)

Halogen reactivity trend (up or down group?)

Increases up the group

Most reactive halogen

Fluorine

Halogen displacement rule

More reactive displaces less reactive from compounds

Product when halogen reacts with metal

Salt (metal halide)

Product when halogen reacts with H2H_2

Hydrogen halide (acid in water)

Why halogen reactivity increases upwards

Smaller atoms, less screening, easier to gain electrons
