C4e 3 'Group 7 (The Halogens) ' HW Sheet

The document discusses the properties and reactions of the halogens chlorine, bromine, and iodine. It includes: 1) Tables to complete on the state, melting point, and boiling point of each halogen. 2) Questions about predicting the properties of fluorine and astatine based on their positions in the periodic table. 3) Descriptions of reactions between chlorine and sodium, and bromine and potassium iodide. 4) Discussion of the electronic structure of group 7 elements and how this relates to their reactivity.

Worksheet C4e 3

Group 7 (the halogens)

Properties and reactions of the halogens

1. Complete the table below:

State at room temperature


Element Colour
(solid/liquid/gas)

chlorine

bromine

iodine

2. Complete the table below – research the melting points and boiling points
of the halogens using either the Internet or a data book. (The website
WebElements at www.webelements.com is a good source of information).

Element Melting point (°C) Boiling point (°C)

chlorine

bromine

iodine

3. Plot a graph to show the melting point and boiling point of these three
halogens. Put the name of the halogen on the x-axis.

4. Use the graphs to predict the melting and boiling points of:

(i) fluorine (element above chlorine)

_____________________________________________________________________

(ii) astatine (element below iodine)

_____________________________________________________________________

(iii) What states will fluorine and astatine be in at room temperature?

_____________________________________________________________________
