Halogen

A nonmetal in Group 17 of the periodic table; highly reactive and forms salts with metals.

2
New cards

Diatomic molecules

Halogens typically exist as diatomic molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) under standard conditions.

3
New cards

Reactivity trend in halogens

Reactivity decreases down the group from fluorine to iodine.

4
New cards

Alkali halides

Salts formed when halogens react with alkali metals (e.g., NaCl, KBr).

5
New cards

Common oxidation state

Most common oxidation state of halogens is -1; higher oxidation states occur in interhalogen compounds and oxo-halogens.

6
New cards

Physical state and color at room temperature

F2 and Cl2 are gases, Br2 is a liquid, I2 is a solid; colors: F2 (pale yellow), Cl2 (greenish-yellow), Br2 (reddish-brown), I2 (violet).
