Group 17

Question	Answer
Trend in bpt	Increase down group as: ^e- = more dipoles = stronger London forces More E to break IM forces
Trends in Reactivity	In redox X2 gains 1 electron Decreases down a group Atomic radius ^ Shielding ^ Ability to attract electron decrease
Halogen molecule state at RTP colour in hexane	F2 - Pale yellow gas Cl2 - Pale green gas - pale green Br2 - Red-brown liquid - orange I2 - Shiny grey/black solid - Violet
E config	s2p6
Role in redox reactions	Reduced gain an e- to get full OSE config.
Displacement	More reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halogen in a solution if its halide ions. i.e. Cl2 + 2Br- -> 2Cl- + Br2
How to differentiate between displaced halogens	Dissolve in hexane Cl2 -> pale green Br2 -> Orange I2 -> Violet
Disproportionation	Element is R and O in the same redox reaction
Cl2 disproportionation reactions (2)	+ H2O + NaOH (cold, dilute)
Cl2+H2O	HClO + HCl
Cl2+ 2NaOH	NaClO + NaCl + H2O
Why use NaOH?	Cl2 LIMITED by low sol. of Cl2 in H2O. If water contains NaOH then much more will dissolve.
Dangers	Chlorinated HC Chlorine gas
