Halogens are only found in nature as what?
All the three states of matter are represented by the halogens.
Which metals occurs in a free state?
Only a few metals are found in the free state, generally metals react to form for example oxides, sulfides which then may further react. Some found free are gold silver copper and platinum. All of these are relatively unreactive
What name given to group 7 on the periodic table?
Group 7 on the periodic table is called Halogens.
Why is metallic sodium not found in nature?
Sodium is highly reactive and never exists in free state. It is always found in the combined state.
What state of matter do halogens naturally occur in?
They do Occur in SOLID,LIQUID and GAS
Did halogens frequently occur in nature as free elements?
Yes, the halogens did occur in nature as free elements.
What are facts about halogens?
not found free in nature they exist as separate diatomic molecules they produce salts known as halides
Can plasma be found in street lights?
A plasma is a state of matter sohot that the electrons are no longer bound to the nucleus. It is like a soup of nucleii and free electrons. In very hot bulbs like Halogens, a plasma exists.
What is the state of halogens?
Oxidation
Halogens are only found in nature as what?
All the three states of matter are represented by the halogens.
Similar for all halogens?
There are five halogens found. All of halogens are non metals. Similar thing for all of them is they are non metals.
What is the oxidation state of all halogens?
-1
Where are following found on the periodic table halogens?
halogens are in group 17 and found on the far right corner of the periodic table to the left of the noble gases
What is the state of matter at room temperature of halogens?
nothing
Which metals occurs in a free state?
Only a few metals are found in the free state, generally metals react to form for example oxides, sulfides which then may further react. Some found free are gold silver copper and platinum. All of these are relatively unreactive
When do halogens show 1 and -1 oxidation states?
When halogens bind to more electropositive elements (compared it itself), they show -1 oxidation state. When halogens bind to more electronegative elements (compared it itself), they show +1 oxidation state.
Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?
The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
