  2. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.82) • Halogen (Group VIIA): • Consists of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine • Outermost shell electronic configuration: ns2np5 • Diatomic molecules in free elemental state by sharing the unpaired e– • React with other elements, complete the octet by gaining 1e–or sharing the unpaired e– to form 1 covalent bond

  3. Bromine is a reddish brown liquid Chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas Iodine is a violet black solid 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.83)

  4. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.83) Electronegativity Electronegativity is a measure of the relative tendency of an atom to attract bond pair(s) of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond • Halogens have high tendency to attract an additional e– to complete the octet which has extra stability • Halogens have high electronegativity values

  5. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.83) Electron Affinity Electron affinity is the enthalpy change when one mole of electrons is added to one mole of atoms or ions in the gaseous phase. • All halogens have negative values of electron affinity • i.e. all halogens have a high tendency to attract an additional electron to form the respective halide ions

  6. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.84) Bonding and Oxidation State • The outermost shell electronic configuration of halogens: ns2np5 • To complete the octet by gaining 1e– •  the oxidation state is –1 • To complete the octet by sharing their unpaired e– •  the oxidation state would be –1 or +1 (depends on the electronegativity of the elements covalently bonded, except fluorine)

  7. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.84) • All halogens (except fluorine) can expand their octet of electrons by utilizing the vacant, low-lying d-orbitals • By promoting e– into d-orbitals, halogens can have variable no. of unpaired e– to form bonds with other atoms •  Form compounds of different oxidation states

  8. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.84) • Example:Chlorine • 7 outermost shell electrons •  Expand the octet to form a maximum 7 covalent bonds •  Oxidation state = +7 as in dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7) •  If fewer than 7 electrons are used in bonding, the halogen atom can have 1, 2 and 3 lone pairs of electrons •  The oxidation state would be +5, +3 and +1

  9. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.84) • Fluorine • • The most electronegative atom • 1 unpaired e– • cannot expand its octet • ∵ no vacant low-lying d-orbitals • • cannot promote e– into 3rd quantum shell • ∵ too high in energy •  Oxidation state = –1

  11. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.85) Various oxidation states of halogens in their compounds

  12. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.85) Colour • All halogens are coloured • ∵ absorption of radiation in visible region of spectrum •  absorbed radiation causes the excitation of electrons • Small fluorine atoms absorb relatively high frequency (i.e. blue light) •  appears yellow • Larger atoms like iodine absorb relatively low frequency (i.e. yellow light) •  appears violet

  13. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.85) • Halogens show different colours when dissolved in different solvents • Halogens are non-polar molecules Not very soluble in water but very soluble in organic solvents

What is in common about these configuration? Answer

  16. (b) A halogen atom tends to gain an electron when forming a compound. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.86) Check Point 42-1 (cont’d) (b) Does a halogen atom gain or lose an electron more readily when forming a compound? Answer

  17. (c) Going down the halogen group, as the sizes of the halogen atoms increase, radiation of lower frequency is absorbed. For example, for the first member of the halogen group (i.e. fluorine), radiation of high frequency (i.e. blue light) is absorbed, hence fluorine appears yellow. For iodine, radiation of low frequency (i.e. yellow light) is absorbed, thus it appears violet. 42.1 Characteristic Properties of the Halogens (SB p.86) Check Point 42-1 (cont’d) (c) The colour of halogens darkens down the group. Explain why. Answer

  18. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.87) Physical properties of the halogens

  19. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.87) Variation in Physical Properties Melting point and boiling point • Increases down the group • Depends on the strength of van der Waals’ forces (i.e. instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction) •  molecular size increases, electron clouds get larger and more easily polarized • instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction becomes stronger •  more energy is needed to separate the molecules

  20. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.88) Electronegativity • Decreases down the group • ∵ atomic size increases down the group •  Increasing no. of electron shells creates greater screening effect •  The tendency to attract bonding electrons to itself decreases

  21. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.88) Electron Affinity • Reach maximum at chlorine • ∵ atomic size increases down the group •  Decrease in effective nuclear charge •  The tendency to attract additional electrons decreases • Fluorine’s E.A. is unexpectedly low • ∵smallest in size •  Addition of electrons introduces significant electron-electron repulsion

  22. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.88) Bond Enthalpy Bond enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of covalent bond in gaseous species is broken X2(g)  2X(g)

  23. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.88) • Decrease down the group except F2 • ∵ increase in atomic size, increase in bond length •  Decrease in attractive force between atoms •  Decrease in bond enthalpy • The bond enthalpy of F2 is unexpectedly low • ∵ smallest in size results in very short F–F bond •  Significant electron repulsion between non-bonding electrons •  F – F bond is weakened, less energy is required to break the bond

  24. (a) Electron affinity is the enthalpy change when one mole of electrons is added to one mole of atoms or ions in the gaseous phase. The electron affinity reaches the maximum at chlorine. It is because the increase in atomic size and number of electron shells further down the group leads to a decrease in effective nuclear charge. The tendency of halogens to attract additional electrons therefore decreases as the group is descended. Besides, fluorine has an unexpectedly low electron affinity because fluorine is the smallest member of halogens. The addition of an electron introduces a significant electron-electron repulsion. Its electron affinity is therefore lower than expected. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.89) Check Point 42-2 (a) Explain the term “electron affinity”.

  29. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.90) Reaction with Phosphorus • All halogens react with red phosphorus • As P has low-lying vacant 3d orbitals, the compound formed can have more than 8 electrons in the outermost shell • P can form PX3 and PX5 depending on the oxidation power of X2

  35. 42.2 Variation in Properties of the Halogens (SB p.92) • The O.N. of Cl changes from 0 in Cl2 to –1 in HCl • Also, the O.N. of Cl changes from 0 in Cl2 to +1in HOCl • ∴ Cl2 is oxidized and reduced simultaneously • This is call disproportionation Disproportionation is a chemical change in which oxidation and reduction of the same species (which may be a molecule, atom or ion) take place at the same time

  44. (a) Because all of the halogens have one electron short of the octet electronic configuration, they are highly electronegative and have high electron affinity values. Therefore, they tend to attract an additional electron to complete the octet.
