#6.6

Recall the colours and physical states of chlorine, bromine and iodine at room temperature

#6.7

Describe the pattern in the physical properties of the halogens, chlorine, bromine and iodine, and use this pattern to predict the physical properties of other halogens

#6.8

Describe the chemical test for chlorine

#6.9

Describe the reactions of the halogens, chlorine, bromine and iodine, with metals to form metal halides, and use this pattern to predict the reactions of other halogens

#6.10

Recall that the halogens, chlorine, bromine and iodine, form hydrogen halides which dissolve in water to form acidic solutions, and use this pattern to predict the reactions of other halogens

#6.11

Describe the relative reactivity of the halogens chlorine, bromine and iodine, as shown by their displacement reactions with halide ions in aqueous solution, and use this pattern to predict the reactions of astatine

#6.12

Explain why these displacement reactions are redox reactions in terms of gain and loss of electrons, identifying which of the substances are oxidised and which are reduced

#6.13

Explain the relative reactivity of the halogens in terms of electronic configurations
