#1
Front (Question)

describe the properties of the first 4 halogens

Back (Answer)

F2 pale yellow gas Cl2 greenish gas Br2 red liquid I2 shiny grey solid

#2
Front (Question)

state and explain the trend of melting points down the halogens

Back (Answer)

increases • molecules become larger • more electrons so more attraction to nucleus • stronger london forces between molecules so more energy needed to overcome

#3
Front (Question)

state and explain the trend of electronegativity down the halogens

Back (Answer)

decrease • shielding increases as there are more shells • electrons in the covalent bond are further from nucleus so attraction decreases to the nucleus

#4
Front (Question)

give the basic equation of a halogen acting as an oxidising agent

Back (Answer)

X2(?) + 2e- —> 2X-(aq)

#5
Front (Question)

state and explain the trend of oxidising power down the halogens

Back (Answer)

decrease • shielding increases as shells increase • electrons are further away from nucleus so less attraction • so less likely to gain an electron

#6
Front (Question)

give the basic equation of a halide acting as a reducing agent

Back (Answer)

2X-(aq) —> X2(?) + 2e-

#7
Front (Question)

state and explain the trend of reducing power down the halides

Back (Answer)

increases • number of shells in the ions increases so shielding increases • less attraction of outer electrons to nucleus so they are more easily lose

#8
Front (Question)

give an equation and state the observations of Cl2 reacting with KBr

Back (Answer)

colourless —> yellow solution 2KBr(aq) + Cl2(aq) —> 2KCl(aq) + Br2(aq)

#9
Front (Question)

give an equation and state the observations of Cl2 reacting with KI

Back (Answer)

colourless —> brown solution 2KI(aq) + Cl2(aq) —> 2KCl(aq) + I2(aq)

#10
Front (Question)

give an equation and state the observations of Br2 reacting with KI

Back (Answer)

colourless —> brown solution 2KI(aq) + Br2(aq) —> 2KBr(aq) + I2(aq)

#11
Front (Question)

what are the changes in displacement reactions of halogens if an organic solvent is added

Back (Answer)

Cl - colourless Br -yellow I -purple

#12
Front (Question)

give the method of reacting halide ions with AgNO3

Back (Answer)

1) make solution of halide 2) acidity with dilute nitric acid to prevent formation of insoluble silver salts 3) add AgNO3 solution 4) if ppt is formed add dilute NH3 5) if still ppt add concentrated NH3

#13
Front (Question)

give the colour ppt that is formed when cl, br and i react with AgNO3

Back (Answer)

AgCl white AgBr cream AgI yellow

#14
Front (Question)

how can you tell the difference between AgCl AgBr and AgI

Back (Answer)

AgCl dissolves in dilute ammonia whereas AgBr and AgI do not AgBr dissolves in concentrated ammonia whereas AgI does not

#15
Front (Question)

define disproportionation

Back (Answer)

when an element is simultaneously oxidised and reduced

#16
Front (Question)

define electronegativity

Back (Answer)

the relative tendency of an atom in a covalent bone in a molecule to attract electrons in a covalent bond to itself

#17
Front (Question)

give the reaction of chlorine with water and give the colour change when indicator is added

Back (Answer)

Cl2(g) + H2O(l) —> HClO(aq) + HCl(aq) will first turn red then colourless as HClO bleaches the colour

#18
Front (Question)

give the equation of Cl with NaOH and give the colour change

Back (Answer)

Cl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) —> NaCl(aq) + NaClO(aq) + H2O(l) colourless

#19
Front (Question)

what is a use of NaClO

Back (Answer)

bleach to kill bacteria
