3.

Bromine is an element in Group VII of the Periodic Table.

(a) Write the formula for a molecule of bromine......................[1]
(b) Complete the diagram below to show the arrangement of the molecules in liquid bromine.

(c) A teacher placed a small amount of liquid bromine in the bottom of a sealed gas jar of air. After two minutes
brown fumes were seen just above the liquid surface. After one hour the brown colour had spread
completely throughout the gas jar.

Use the kinetic particle theory to explain these observations.[3]
