What are the halogens?

Group 7 elements are called the halogens.
They are all non-metals.
They do not conduct electricity or heat well.
They have low melting and boiling points.

Trends in group 7

As you go down group 7, melting and boiling points increase.
This is because larger molecules have larger intermolecular forces.
As you go down group 7, reactivity decreases.
Halogens are very reactive and toxic.

Uses of halogens

Chlorine gas was used as a weapon in World War One.
In low concentrations, chlorine is used to limit bacteria growth in swimming pools.

Displacement reactions

A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element in a compound.
Both metals and halogens can undergo displacement reactions.
If fluorine is in a compound, it ends with 'fluoride'; chlorine → 'chloride'; bromine → 'bromide'; iodine → 'iodide'; astatine → 'astatide'.
These compounds are collectively called halides.
Example: sodium bromide + chlorine → sodium chloride + bromine (chlorine is more reactive than bromine).
No reaction occurs if the displacing element is less reactive: sodium bromide + iodine → no reaction.
Another example: potassium iodide + chlorine → potassium chloride + iodine (colour change from colourless to brown).
