group 7
elements are the halogens
•
all have 7 electrons in their outer shell
•
most reactive of the non metals ,
non found naturally in element form
°
Fluorine and chlorine are the most abundant ,
bromine occurs in smaller quantities ,
iodine and astatine be artificially produced it short tired
is scarce can
only as is
and radioactive .
•
All halogen elements are diatomic molecules .
For example , Fz and Bra
which are linked through a
single coolest bond .
between a pair of atoms .
•
Halogen atoms achieve
stability by gaining an electron →
forming
a halide ion or
sharing an electron with another non metal

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
-
group of reactive elements , they tend to remove electrons from other elements
so that they can
complete their outer shell e.g .

Na has lost electron - been oxidised

-
elements at the top of group 7 are the most reactive and strongest
oxidising agents this decreases down the

the extra electron is weaker .
Therefore fluorine higher up in the

to become a
negative ion
,
than chlorine
-
Fluorine is the most reactive member of the halogens and the strongest
oxidising agent .
reactions of the halogens with halide ions

is added to potassium iodide there is a reaction and
the solution turns brown .
Iodine is produced .
