Lesson 45

Students will study the physical and chemical properties of group 17 elements. They will be able to state the colours of the halogens and the relative oxidising power of the elements down the group. They also will understand the relative reactivity of the elements with hydrogen to form hydrogen halides.

Lesson Plan

Lesson : Group 17 (I)

Aim :

To study the physical and chemical properties of Group 17 elements.

Learning Outcomes :

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to :

• state the colours of the halogens

• explain the volatility of the halogens down the group

• explain the relative oxidising power of the halogens

• explain the relative reactivity of the halogens with hydrogen

• explain the thermal stability of the hydrogen halides down the group.

Assumed prior knowledge :

Students should already be familiar with the concept of:

1. van der Waals forces

2. standard reduction potentials

3. bond energy and enthalpy change.

Underlying Principles

1. Making the invisible, visible.

2. Enabling students to know what to look for.

Differentiation

Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.

Activity 1 : Colour and volatility

Students get to view samples of Group 17


elements at room temperature.
They also get to relate the difference in
the boiling points of these elements to the
strength of their van der Waals forces.

Activity 2 : Oxidising power

Students get to compare the oxidising


power of the halogens.

Activity 3 : Hydrogen halides

Students get to view how the halogens


react with hydrogen to form hydrogen
halides. They also get to compare the
thermal stability of the hydrogen halides.

Worksheet Answers

1. Colour and volatility

1.1 a. Cl2 is a gas, Br2 is a liquid and I2 is a solid.

b. I2, Br2, Cl2


The relative molecular mass of the halogens decreases in the order
I2 > Br2 >Cl2. Hence the strength of the intermolecular van der Waals forces
decreases in the order : I2 > Br2 > Cl2.

c. Chlorine is yellow-green, bromine is dark red and iodine is violet-black in


colour.

d. Black solid

2. Oxidising power

2.1 a. The halogens are oxidising agents

b. Br2(l) + 2e− 2Br−(aq)

c. F2

d. Positive but less than iodine

2.2 I and II

3. Hydrogen halides

1 1 ∆H°f
3.1 a. i. H2 (g) + F2 (g) HF (g)
2 2

∆H°a ∆H°a Bond energy

H(g) + F(g)

ii. As an oxidising agent

b. i. Fluorine
ii Iodine

c. Pt catalyst and 300 °C

d. HF > HCl > HBr > HI


On descending Group 17, the H−X bond length increases. Thus, the
bond energy decreases.
