Why are they placed in group VIIA in the periodic table? Describe the state of each member of family and. also their colours? : HALOGENS: Halogens, a name derived from Greek words, kalo = — Salt Gens = Producing Halogens are “Salt Producing” elements, Examples: Chlorine (Cl) Flourine (F) Bromine (Be) iodine (I) Agkatine (At) PROPERTIES OF HALOGENS! Elements Of VIIA Group: Halogens belong to VIIA grog inithe periodic table, because all these elements contain seven, electrons in theicyalance shells. All the halogens are onidizing agents due to their ability to gain electrons, Oxidation State: Halogens are the most reactive group f non-metals, These are strong oxidizing agents. The ast meniber of the family astatine (At) is radioactive, shows different behaviour and is rather unstable. They exhibit various oxidation states in their compounds except fluorine \wiich shows an oxidation state-1, which is common oxidation state for all halogens. They existias diatomic molecules Fy, Cl, Br:, and b.

In these compounds they are present as their ve ions i.e. fluoride (F*), chloride (C*) bromide (Br) and lodide (/*). Chlorine; bromine and iodine are found as halides in sea water and in slat deposits. The concentration ‘odine in these sources is very small, However it is concentrated fri seaweedsyfluorine and chlorine are abundant elements. FLUORINE: Fluorine occurs in the minerals. The most widely spread compouhds“6F fluorine are fluorspar (Caf), cryalite ((Nay) AlF,) and fluorapatite (3Ca, (PO) CaF), CHLORINE: Chlorine is abundant in oceans and salt deposits as sodium chloride ie. rock salt (NaCl). Each kilogram of sea water contains about 30g of NaCI {3%). The large salt deposits in Pakistan are at Khewra near Jehlum, BROMINE! Bromine is less abundant and is foundliBs Brbmide of Na and K in sea water. Sea water contains very small concentratio) of prontide, about 70 parts per million by mass. loping: Iodine is even less abundant thah bromine. Sea water contains traces of iodide (0.05) parts per million by masgphowever It concentrates in seaweeds is present upto 800 parts per million by mass(@nd gan be extracted from seaweeds. lodine is also present as sodium ‘ocide (Nal).in certain oil*wells and also as sodium iadide (Nal0,) found along with chile salt peter (NaNQs), AsTATINE: toes notioccur naturally.
