F Fluorine Cl Chlorine 2,7 2,8,7 Br Bromine I Iodine At Astatine And so on © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Halogen molecules All the Group 7 elements are molecules containing two atoms. (They are diatomic) Each atom is 1 electron short of a noble gas electron structure. By sharing electrons in a covalent bond full outer electron shells are achieved.

Reactivity decreases 1. The atoms get bigger as you go down the group. This reduces the attraction of the (+) nucleus for an additional (-) electron. 2. ‘Shielding’ by the inner electron shells also reduces the attraction from the nucleus. As we go down the group the tendency to gain electrons decreases and so does the reactivity © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Displacement reactions A more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halide from its compounds in solution. Chlorine + sodium bromide sodium chloride + bromine Cl2(aq) + 2NaBr(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + Br2(aq) very pale green no colour no colour red colour © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Displacement theory • The attraction of halogens for an extra electron gets greater going up the group: I <Br<Cl<F. Na+ Cl- F • If we mix a metal halide with a more reactive halogen, the electron will be transferred from the less to the more reactive halogen. Na+ e- Cl F- © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Reactions with metals The attraction of halogens for an extra electron means that they readily react with most metals. Chlorine reacts readily with iron on gentle heating despite iron’s low reactivity. Chlorine + iron iron (III) chloride 3Cl2(g) + 2Fe(s) 2 FeCl3 © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Reactions with non-metals Halogen atoms have 7 electrons in the outer shell. They seek to achieve a full shell (8 electrons). With metals they gain electrons forming ionic compounds. With non-metals they react by sharing electrons and forming covalent compounds. For example, hydrogen and chlorine form hydrogen chloride. H Cl Cl H © Boardworks Ltd 2003 Uses of Fluorine Fluorine, often via hydrogen fluoride, is used to manufacture many other products.
