The Halogens

?
Which statement is true?
The Halogens have low melting and boiling points which increase down the group.
1 of 17
Which sub-shell do the highest energy electrons belong to in a Group 7 element?
p sub-shell
2 of 17
What is meant by the 'oxidising power' of a Halogen?
A measure of the strength with which a halogen atom is able to attract and capture an electron to form a halide.
3 of 17
Which statement is true?
The reactivity of the Halogens decreases down the group.
4 of 17
What 3 points explain the trend in reactivity down the group?
Atomic radius increases; Electron shielding increases; Ability to gain an electron into the p sub-shell decreases to form a halide ion.

What happens in a 'displacement reaction'?
A more-reactive halogen will oxidise and displace a halide of a less-reactive halogen.
