3 halogens studied in redox reactions

Chlorine, bromine, iodine

Metals in displacement reactions

Magnesium and zinc

Safety hazard of Cl2Cl_2 and Br2Br_2

Poisonous

Chlorine oxidizes Fe2+Fe^{2+} to

Fe3+Fe^{3+}

Chlorine oxidizes SO32−SO_3^{2-} to

SO42−SO_4^{2-}

Colour when Cl2Cl_2 oxidizes Br−Br^- to Br2Br_2

Orange

Colour when Cl2Cl_2 or Br2Br_2 oxidizes I−I^- to I2I_2

Brown

Cl2+2Br−→Cl_2 + 2Br^- \rightarrow ?

2Cl−+Br22Cl^- + Br_2

Cl2+2I−→Cl_2 + 2I^- \rightarrow ?

2Cl−+I22Cl^- + I_2

Br2+2I−→Br_2 + 2I^- \rightarrow ?

2Br−+I22Br^- + I_2

Why is Mg more reactive than Zn?

Larger atomic radius, less nuclear charge, easier to lose e−e^-
