What element are hydrogen H2 nitrogen N2 oxygen O2 fluorine F2 chlorine Cl2 iodine I2 bromine Br2?
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature; iodine is a solid, bromine is a liquid.
What state is iodine?
Solid in room temperature.
Why iodine is solid and fluorine is gas at room temperature?
Iodine is a solid because it has a larger mass number than fluorine. (Iodine=126.9 where as fluoine=19). This means that it will have more induced dipole-induced dipole attractions, compared to flourine. So more attractions need to be overcome in iodine than flourine, meaning there needs to be more energy to overcome the attractive forces. So there will be enough energy at room temperature to overcome the forces of attraction between flourine, making it a gas in nature. However there is not enough energy at room temperature to overcome the attractive forces between iodine, making it a solid at room temperature. Hope that answered your question.
What state is iodine at room temperature?
Iodine is a solid when at 25 degrees centigrade (room temperature)
Can fluorine become a solid?
No, Fluorine is a gas.
What is the radioactive element of group 17?
Bromine (Br) is a liquid Iodine (I) is a solid
What halogen would be a liquid at 100 degrees?
at 100oC fluorine, chlorine and bromine are gas. iodine and astatine are solid
Does fluorine have weaker or stronger intermolecular forces than iodine?
It depends. If Fluorine is bonded to Hydrogen then it would be greater, having present Hydrogen Bonding-the strongest Intermolecular Force. Iodine,I2, has many more electrons than fluorine, F2,so London dispersion forces are much stronger explaining why fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid under standard conditions.
What element are hydrogen H2 nitrogen N2 oxygen O2 fluorine F2 chlorine Cl2 iodine I2 bromine Br2?
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature; iodine is a solid, bromine is a liquid.
At room temperature is iodine a solid or liquid?
Solid. If you look at a periodic table they will have some elements in different colours with a key at the bottom to indicate solid, liquid or gas. This observation is for standard room temp which is 23 deg at 101.3 kPa. Iodine is indicated as being solid.
What state of matter do halogens exist in room temperature?
At room temperature and pressure, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is liquid and iodine is a solid
What haiogen is a liquid at room temperature?
None of them are Fluorine, Chlorine and Bromine are all gases at room temperature. Iodine and Astatine are both solid at room temperature.
Is iodine solid a conductor?
No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.
Is Iodine a soild or gas?
Elemental iodine is a solid. But it is a volatile solid in that chemists will use solid iodine in a chamber to "iodine stain" substances in thin layer chromatography. Thus iodine is like having a volatile solid.

At STP which element is a solid hydrogen or iodine?
Iodine is a solid at STP.
