Chemistry Of The Halogen Group
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The halogen group is comprised of astatine, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, all of which are nonmetals and form a portion of the periodic system's seventh primary group. The word halogen, which equates to salt producer, is indicative of myriad sea salt compounds, as well as common table salt in the form of sodium chloride. The collective group of halogens possesses a strong, unpleasant odor and has the capacity to burn right through living body tissue; their capacity to dissolve in water is quite poor. Weight fluctuates quite significantly between and among the gases, with fluorine being the lightest and astatine the heaviest. Their atomic weights reflect fluorine, 18.9984; chlorine, 35.453; bromine, 79.909; iodine, 126.905; and astatine, 210. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
