About This Topic

A study of the highly reactive halogens, focusing on their physical properties, oxidising ability, and displacement reactions. Students will also examine the uses of chlorine.

Key Questions

  1. What is the trend in electronegativity down Group 7?
  2. How do displacement reactions demonstrate the relative oxidising strengths of halogens?
  3. What are the benefits and risks of using chlorine in water treatment?
