    • Bromine?
    • Iodine?
    • Yellow
    • Green
    • Red orange
    • Purple
  4. Describe the halogens.
    The halogens are non-metal diatomic molecules
  5. How do the melting/boiling points of the halogens change going down the group?
    They increase, due to the larger atoms having more electrons, making the Van Der Waals forces between molecules stronger and therefore more energy is needed to overcome these forces
  6. Which halogen has many untypical properties?
    • Why is this?
    • How does fluorines size effect this?
    • Why can we not investigate fluorine in aqueous solution?
    • Fluorine
    • Because the F-F Bond is very weak
    • It's small size leads to repulsion between non-bonding electrons due to their close proximity
    • Because it reacts with water
  7. Why is the Potassium iodide often added to table salt?
    Because it is necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland
  8. How does the electronegativity of the halogens change as you go down the group?
    It decreases as you go down the group because distance between shared electrons and positive nuclei increases. Meaning there is more shielding therefore there is weaker attraction by nucleus on bonding pair of electrons in the covalent bond. And these factors are more important than the increasing nuclear charge.
  9. How do halogens usually react?
    • In terms of redox halogens are what?
    • By gaining electrons to become negative halide ions Oxidising agents that are reduced
  10. How does the oxidising ability change going down the group?
    • What does this make fluorine?
    • It decreases, One of the most powerful oxidising agents known
  11. How are halide ions reducing agents?What is this trend linked to?
    • They will lose one of their electrons to become a halogen molecule,
    • The size of the ion, The larger the ion the more easily electron is lost because it will have a lower electronegativity
  12. What occurs during their displacement reactions?
    • What trend does a displacement reaction usually follow?
    • Halogens will react with the metal halide in a solution in such a way that the halide in this compound will be displaced by the more reactive halogen
    • A halogen will displace the halide ion of the halogen below it
  13. Give the general equation for the displacement of bromide ions in a metal solution by chlorine?
    Give the ionic equation?What is reduced?

    Cl2 + 2NaBr ---> 2NaCl + Br2
  14. Cl2 + Br- ---> Cl- + Br2
  15. The chlorine
  16. The extraction of bromine from sea water is an example of what?
    • Sea water contains small amounts of bromine ions, oxidised by what?
    • To produce?
    • What is the equation?

    The oxidation of a halide by a halogen
  17. Chlorine
  18. Bromine
    Cl2 + 2Br- ----> Br2 + 2Cl-
  19. How do the sizes of the halogen atoms change as you go down the group?
    They get bigger because each element has one extra filled main level of electrons to the one above
  20. What is the equation for the extraction of iodine from kelp?Explain how it is extracted.
    2I- + MnO2 + 4H+ ----> Mn2+ + 2H20 + I2

    It is washed with water then the residue is heated with manganese oxide
  21. When are halide ions reducing agents?How does the reducing power change going down the group?
    When solid sodium halides react with concentrated sulphuric acid.It increases
  22. What happens during the reaction of sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid?
    • What is the product produced?
    • What is the equation?
    • Type of reaction is this?
    • Why is it not a redox reaction?When does a similar reaction occur?

    Drops of H2SO4 are added to the solid sodium chloride and steamy fumes of hydrogen chloride can be seen
  23. Sodium hydrogensulfate
  24. An acid-base reaction
  25. NaCl + H2SO4 ---> NaHSO4 + HCl
  26. No oxidation state has changed because the chlorine ion is too weak to reduce the sulfur in Sulfuric acid
  27. With sodium fluoride to produce hydrogen fluoride
  28. What are the dangers of hydrogen fluoride?
    It is extremely dangerous gas that will etch glass
  29. What is the ionic equation for the reaction of sodium chloride with sulfuric acid?
    Why is this not a redox reaction?

    +1 -1 +1 +6 -2 +1 +1 +6 -2 +1 -1NaCl + H2SO4 ----> NaHSO4 + HCl
  30. Because no oxidation state has changed
  31. What is observed in the reactions of solid sodium bromide and H2SO4?
    Steamy fumes of hydrogen bromide and brown fumes of bromine are observed, colourless sulphur dioxide is also formed.
  32. How many reactions occur when sodium bromide reacts with conc. sulfuric acid?
    • What are these?
    • What is the oxidation state of the sulfur reduced from and to?
    • What does the oxidation state of bromine increase from and to?
    • Two First sodium hydrogensulphate and hydrogen bromide are produced in a similar acid-base reaction to the sodium chloride reaction.However bromide ions are strong enough reducing agents to reduce the sulfuric acid to sulfur dioxide.From +6 to +4 -1 to 0
  33. In the reactions of sodium bromide and concentrated sulphuric acid, what are the equations?

    Which is the redox reaction?

    Is the reaction endo or exothermic?

    What happens to some of the Bromine?
    NaBr + H2SO4 ----> HBr + NaHSO4

    2H+ + 2Br- + H2SO4 ----> SO2 + 2H2O + Br2

    The second

    Exothermic

    It vaporises
  34. What is observed in the reaction of solid sodium Iodide and concentrated H2SO4?What colourless gas is also evolved?
    • Steamy fumes of hydrogen iodide is observed, Black solid iodine appears, the bad egg smell of hydrogen sulphide gas is present, and yellow solid sulphur may also be seen.
    • Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
  35. Several reactions occur when sodium iodide reacts with H2SO4, what occurs in the first reaction?
    • Give the equation.What happens next, refer to the reducing ability of iodide ions.As the sulfur passes through oxidation state zero what may appear?What is the equation for this reaction? (-2) Write the oxidation states below.
    • NaI + H2SO4 ----> HI + NaHSO4
    • Because iodide ions are better reducing agents than bromide ions, they reduce the sulfur in sulfuric acid even further from +6 to 0 then -2
    • Yellow solid sulfur
    • 8H+ + 8I- + H2SO4 ----> H2S + 4H2O + 4I2 -1 +6 -2
