C4 - The Group 7 Elements

?
Why do group 7 elements have similar properties?
Because they each have 7 electrons in their outer shell. This means when they react each atom gains one electrons to form a negative ion with a stable electronic structure
1 of 7
How can we predict the properties of halogens knowing the properties of other halogens?
This is because the properties show trends.
2 of 7
How makes a halogen more reactive?
By the nearer the outer shell is to the nucleus, the easier it is for an atom to gain one electron which makes it more reactive
3 of 7
What happens when a halogen reacts with an alkali metal?
A metal halide is made
4 of 7
What are the two possible outcomes if halogens are bubbled through solutions of metal halides?
No reaction or a displacement reaction
5 of 7
What is increased of the halogen if it is higher up the group?
The reactivity
6 of 7
What is reduction?
When electrons are gained
