How does hydrogen differ from halogens?

Answer 1

A halogen bulb uses a filament that has electricity passed through it to create the light. The halogen name comes from the gas the filament is enclosed in to prevent it burning.

'Xenon' bulbs can refer to either bulbs with a filament enclosed in xenon gas, or to a HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulb.

HID bulbs work in an entirely different fashion. The light is created by passing an arc of high voltage electricity through a blend of gasses (primarily xenon) and metal ions. The light produced is powerful and uses less energy than the equivalent halogen bulb, so they are becoming more common in cars and other applications.

Answer 2

A halogen is a representative element from group VII in the Periodic Table. More specifically, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. Astatine is a very unstable radionuclide so is not normally dealt with.

A halide is a chemical compound of halogens bonded to more electro positive elements. Examples are sodium chloride(table salt) Sodium fluoride(toothpaste fluoride) etc etc. Halogens can even form halides themselves ex (iodine heptafluoride, Chlorine trifluoride etc etc.)

Halogen = any element from Group 7

Halide = Group 1 + Group 7

Halogens are elements while halides are substances that are ionically bonded.

Answer 3

The major difference between an incandescent bulb and a halogen bulb is the gases that each produces within its glass bulb. Incandescent bulbs fill with a mixture of 93 percent argon and seven percent nitrogen, while halogen bulbs adds a halogen gas, such as iodine or bromine. Halogen bulbs are more efficient compared to incandescent bulbs.

Answer 4

An incandescent bulb is a source of electric light in which current passes through a thin tungsten alloy filament sealed in a transparent glass envelope filled with an inert gas, such as nitrogen. The gas ensures that the filament can get hot enough to produce light but does not burn away, as it would do in plain air because plain air contains oxygen.

A halogen bulb is another kind of incandescent bulb which uses a tungsten alloy filament sealed in a transparent glass envelope filled with a small amount of a halogen gas. The halogen gas produces a chemical reaction with the tungsten in the filament and that reaction greatly increases the lifespan of the lamp.

Answer 5

Halogen lamps are really just incandescent lamps with a halogen gas built into the lamp. This increases the life of the lamp, among other things.

Hg is Mercury. While not manufactured anymore, mercury ballasts and lamps were high intensity discharge (HID) lights used for street, parking lot, etc. lighting. While some are still in use, and lamps are available at home improvement stores, the ballasts are no longer made.

Hg is also found in compact fluorescent lamps.

Answer 6

All halogen bulbs are incandescent bulbs but not all incandescent bulbs are halogen bulbs! An incandescent bulb has a filament that heats up and gives off light. in the process, some of the filament evaporates. In addition a halogen bulb has halogen gas. When the bulb is turned off, the halogen gas returns atoms from the filament back to the filament. As a result the filament can last longer.

Answer 7

Hydrogen is a nonmetal element with only one electron in its outer shell, while halogens are a group of nonmetal elements with seven electrons in their outer shell. Hydrogen is a diatomic gas at room temperature, while halogens are diatomic molecules or exist as salts in solid form. Hydrogen is not a halogen and does not belong to the halogen group on the periodic table.

Answer 8

hydrogen has one electron in their valence shell and halogen have 7electron in their valence shell ..thtz y hydrogen is differ from halogen

Answer 9

halogens readily forms halide ions while hydrogen forms hydride ions only compounds in alkali and alkaline earth metals
