Halogens easily convert to gases because they are so electronegative. They are easily able to pull electrons from other molecules to pair with the lone p-orbital electron. ---also, this electronegativity causes them to be strong acids when protonated (eg-HCl)
Molecules of a halogen e.g. Cl2 are attracted together the weak Van Der Waals forces. these forces can be easily broken with a very small amount of heat, meaning that these halogens have very low boiling points, this allows the halogen to exist as a gas naturally due to its low boiling point.
Halogens are extremely reactive, noble gases are very unreactive. All noble gases are gases; only F and Cl are gases.
No, not all halogens are gases. Fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature, while bromine is a liquid and iodine is a solid.
No, not all halogens are gases at room temperature. Fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid.
halogens are much more reactive
They are completely different Noble gases are colorless, monoatomic gases; the halogens are diatomic, colored and there form at room temperature is F, gas, Cl, gas, Br, liquid I, solid. Nobel gases are chemically unreactive, helium and neon have no known compounds, a few very reactive compounds are known for the rest. The halogens are all reactive, fluoringe is the most reactive. One or more of the halogens will form compounds with all of the other elements apart from the noble gases. (apart from He and Ne)
At room temperature the lighter halogens, F, Cl are diatomic gases, Br is a liquid, I is a solid. All of the halogens are colored and toxic. The noble gases are all colorless odorless non chemically toxic monoatomic gases. (Radon is radioactive).
Not all nonmetallic halogens form non-corrosive gases. The halogens, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, exhibit varying levels of reactivity and corrosiveness. For example, chlorine and fluorine are highly corrosive gases, while iodine is less reactive and can be considered less corrosive. Therefore, the corrosiveness of the gas depends on the specific halogen and its chemical properties.
All halogens or group 17 elements.
No, they are not. Fluorine, chlorine, and iodine are halogens, meaning they have 7 valence shell electrons. They are the second most nonreactive group of elements, besides the noble gases, which have 8 and do not react at all.
Halogens are highly reactive, and don't lose their electrons easily. Halogens are all in group 17 of the periodic table, meaning they all have 17 valence electrons.
Nonmetals, halogens, and noble gases are all found in the p-block of the periodic table. They generally have high electronegativities and form covalent bonds, with halogens being particularly reactive due to their desire to gain electrons. Noble gases, in contrast, are characterized by their full valence electron shells, making them largely inert and unreactive. All three groups play essential roles in various chemical processes and applications.
