CHAPTER 5

HALOGEN GROUPS AND NOBLE GAS GROUPS


HALOGEN GROUPS
Halogen group is a group of chemical elements that ar
e in the VII A group in periodic table.
This group consists : Fluorine(F), Chlorine(Cl), Bromi
ne(Br), Iodine(I) and Astatin(At).
In nature, these elements are found in diatomic molec
ules(having two atoms), for example: F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, At
2.
1. Fluorine

Fluorine is a chemical element in the periodic tabl


e that has the symbol F and atomic number 9.
It is the most chemically reactive yellow-green uni
valent halogen gas and the most electronegative of
all elements.
In its pure form, it is very dangerous, can cause se
vere chemical combustion as it comes in contact w
ith the skin.
Some examples of fluorine compounds are ; fluors
pars, cryolite, fluoroapatite, topaz, and fluoride.
2. Chlorine
Chlorine is taken from Greek, Chloros, which means yello
w-green.
Chlorine gas weight 2.5 times the air, has a stifling smell,
and is very toxic. In liquid and solid form, chlorine is a str
ong oxidizer, bleach and strong disinfectant agent.
In nature, chlorine is found in many compounds with the
sodium element to form salt table (NaCl), and is found in
kamalite and silvit.
The uses of chlorine are: in water purification, in disinfect
ants, in bleach, mustard gas, in the production of paper, a
ntiseptics, dyes, food, insecticed, paints, petroleum produ
cts, plastics, medicine,textiles, solvents and many other.
3. Bromine
Bromine is a chemical element in the periodic table that h
as the symbol Br and atomic number 35.
This element is red liquid at room temperature and has rea
ctivity between Chlorine and Iodine.
Bromine water is a strongly oxidized yellow to red mixtur
e, it is often used as a reagent in chemical test and to test t
he presence of alkenes containing double covalent bonds.
 Some uses of Bromine: Fire retardant, disinfectant, water
purification, pesticides, photography, medicines, and dyes.
4. Iodine
Iodine is a chemical element in the periodic table that ha
s the symbol I and atomic number 53.
Iodine is nonmetal elements. Bluish black glossy solids.
Can evaporate at ordinary temperatures to form a purple-
blue gas that smells bad (sore).
Some of the benefits and uses of Iodine: as antiseptic in r
ed medicine, to tese and identify starch, in the form of p
otassium iodate is added to table salt to prevent mumps,
Iodoform is an organic substance used as an antiseptic, a
nd in the form of silver iodate can be used in making pho
tographic films.
Noble Gas Groups
Consists of : Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypt
on (Kr), Xenon (Xe) and Radon (Rn).
Noble gas elements have full electron valence, that mean
s these elements are stable, and it is difficult to react wit
h other elements and difficult to accept or release electro
ns.
The boiling point and melting point of the noble gas ele
ments are smaller than room temperature so that all the
noble gas elements are in the form of gas.
Noble gas elements in nature is found in a monatomic fo
rm because it is stable.
The Properties of Noble Gases
Have a more stable electron configuration
Difficult to react
Has 8 valence electrons, except He
Obtained in a free state in a monatomic form
Radon is radioactive
Elements of He, Ne and Ar which do not have electronega
tivity are increasing
Ionization energy gets smaller
Some Uses of Noble Gas
Helium is used as a filler for gas baloons because of its
low density and stability
Neon is used for gas fillers and bright red givers
Argon is the most widely used noble gas, especially in t
he atmosphere of metal rulers
Krypton and Xenon are used to fill colorfull advertisin
g lights
A mixture of 10% Xe, 89% ar, and 1% F2 is used for emi
ssion lights to produce laser light
