PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
~ High electronegativity
~ Low melting points and boiling points
~ Exist as diatomic molecules at room temperature
~ Low densities
~ Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Physical Properties of
Electronegativity-the ability of the nucleus of atom to attract
electrons
Electronegativity decreases down the group and the reason is
-Atomic size increases down the group
-Forces of Attraction between nucleus and valence electron becomes
weaker
-Strength of the nucleus to attract electron decreases
Melting Point and Boiling Point
m.p and b.p increases down the group because
-when going down the group, size of halogen molecule increases
-Van Der Waal forces of attraction between molecules become
stronger
-More heat energy is need to overcome the forces of attraction
General Chemical Properties of Halogens
7
All element in group 17 have valence electron. Thus, they all have
same chemical properties
During chemical reaction, all halogens receive 1 electron to
achieve stable electron arrangement
F + e F
Cl + e Cl
Br + e Br
Reactivity when going down the group decreases because atomic
size increases down the group, forces of attraction between nucleus
and valence electron becomes weaker. Thus, the strength of the
nucleus to attract electron decreases.
