16. Group VII Elements
Question | Answer |
---|---|
group VII elements | Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine Astatine |
group VII elements are called | Halogens |
group VII elements contain | 7 electrons in their outermost shell and have the ability to accept an electron to gain an octet of electrons and hence take part in ionic bonding |
halogens have the ability to share | electrons in covalent bonding with itself as well as with other non metals in the periodic table |
one of the most unique features of the halogens is | its ability to exist as diatomic molecules when it combines with itself |
the element astatine has no | stable or long lived isotopes, most physical properties of astatine have been predicted from theory and by extrapolation from the properties of other elements |
molecular formula of Fluorine | F2 |
State at 20° of fluorine | gas |

State at 20° of Bromine | liquid |
State at 20° of Iodine | solid |
colour of Iodine | purple |
colour of Chlorine | green |
colour of Bromine | red-brown |
colour of Fluorine | pale yellow |
molecular formula of chlorine | CL2 |
