Because they share similar quality, properties, and have the same amount of valence electrons.

What are some uses for the halogen family?
Chlorine and Bromine are used are Purifying agents in Pools/Spas. Fluorine in compounds (Fluoride) is used in Dentistry. Iodine is used as an antiseptic, and has dietary benefits for the Thyroid. Astatine is radioactive and has uses in Nuclear Medicine.
Can iodine ever be in the liquid state or it just sublimes on heating?
Iodine can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. Its normally solid at STP, but with slow heating you can get it into its liquid form. It sublimes, so the heat must be well controlled. After he pours liquid bromine, this person then shows some liquid iodine.
What 2 molecules contain germanium?
Many simple organic compounds can have germanium substituted for some or all of the carbon. This gives many thousands of different molecules.
Which tends to form anions when bonding with other elements?
Anions are negative ions, so any element that gains a negative charge in a chemical reaction. Some examples of elements that commonly do this are the halogens (flourine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) and oxygen.
How is bromine bad for humans?
bromine is a halogen (an element that can be very reactive and acidic). similar to inhaling chlorine and fluorine which is even more toxic. this is because bromine has 7 electrons in outermost orbit and capable of stealing 1 electrons from another molecule/atoms/element to achieve a stable octet structure. this makes bromine negatively charge which can cause damage in your body. Bromine does have it's human uses, though. Bromine compounds are used in some medications, and if you've ever swum in a large heated pool, odds are the disinfectant in the water was bromine just as likely as chlorine.
What are compounds of bromine?
Bromides, Hypobromites, Bromites, Bromates, Perbromates, Bromine halides and some Bromine oxides
What is the halide family?
1. If you think to halogens: fluorine, chlorine, iodine, bromine, astatine, ununseptium 2. If you think to chemical compounds: halides or halogenides are the binary compounds with metals of the above mentioned elements (but also exist organic halides, etc.). Some halides exist as natural minerals.
What is chemical dehalogenation?
some chemical compounds contain halogens. The halogens are a group of elements- bromine/chlorine/iodine/fluorine. dehalogentation is the removal of these molecules from the compound
What is the valency of bromine?
Bromine typically has a valence of 1, but it may have a valence 3, 5, or 7 in some compounds.
Why the colour of bromine fades when carrying unsaturation test?
Some of the bromine is consumed by forming dibromides from the unsaturated compounds tested. The dibromides do not usually have color, as bromine molecules do.
What are some characteristics of halite?
Form when certain elements combine w/ chlorine, iodine, bromine, or flourin!!
What are some uses for the halogen family?
Chlorine and Bromine are used are Purifying agents in Pools/Spas. Fluorine in compounds (Fluoride) is used in Dentistry. Iodine is used as an antiseptic, and has dietary benefits for the Thyroid. Astatine is radioactive and has uses in Nuclear Medicine.
Why do some compounds have no charge?
Strictly, all compounds have no charge. What would be a compound if neutral but actually has a charge should properly be called an ion. Some compounds, such as the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have perfectly symmetrical covalent bonds without even any polarity. Most covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms have some polarity, as do all ionicly bonded compounds, but this does not mean that the compounds themselves have net electrical charge.
Arrange some of the most common non-metals in order of decreasing electronegativity?
florine chlorine bromine iodine
Is clorine halogen?
Yes, Halogens are the name of a group of non-metal elements found on the Periodic Table, Group 7A (or 17). Halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
Why do you mean by hetero-cyclic compounds?
ring compound that have some of the ring carbons substituted as other elements such as oxygen or nitrogen.
What element in the periodic table is as a compound in radiotherapy?
Some examples are compounds of iodine, samarium, radium, strontium.
