Elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing of ……………. …………….
1. Group 18 (Noble Gas)
Physical properties Colourless gas, low b.p & m.p.
3. Group 17 (Halogen) [ chlorine gas, bromine water, iodine crystal: 7 valence e-]
Physical properties low b.p & m.p , cannot conduct of heat & electricity (non-metal)
Chemical properties reacts with H2O, Fe and NaOH solution & exist as diatomic molecules
Examples of equation:
Cl2 + H2O HCl + HOCl [turns blue litmus red]
3Cl2 + 2 Fe 2 FeCl3
Cl2 + 2 Na OH NaCl + NaOCl + H2O
Reactivity trend Reactivity decreases when going down the Group 17
Reason:
Reactivity of Group 17 element is base on the tendency to attract one electron
P1: when going down the Group 17, atomic size becomes bigger,
P2: the attraction force of nucleus towards valence electron becomes weaker
P3: harder to attract electron towards itself
Precaution Steps handled inside a fume chamber
Wear safety goggles & gloves
