what happens to the reactivity as you go down group 7 and why?
the reactivity decreases- become less reactive
\ * as you go down the group, the element has more electron shells in its structure * e.g chlorine has more electron shells than fluorine * therefore the electron it is gaining is further away from the nucleus meaning its less attracted * and the electron isn’t gained as easily

testing for halide ions using silver nitrate- method
* place four test tubes in a rack containing 2cm death of these solution
sodium chloride solution
sodium bromide solution
sodium iodide solution
solution containing ‘mystery’ halide ion
\ * place 0.5cm3 of silver nitrate solution into each test tube using a pipette * observe the colour of the precipitate that is formed * if its white- chloride * if its cream- bromide * if its yellow- iodide * record results in table * \
