Properties of Group 7

Reactions of the halogens: including displacement practical

In the Chemical Analysis unit, pupils will build on their knowledge of the periodic table to explore various techniques for analysing substances and interpreting data.

In the Patterns in the Periodic Table unit, pupils learned about the arrangement of elements in the periodic table and the trends in properties of elements.

This unit explores how elements' reactions are related to electron arrangement and atomic number. It covers the properties of Groups 1, 7, and 0 and explains how these depend on outer electrons. It also predicts element reactivity and reactions based on their positions in the periodic table.

Relative atomic mass, atomic radius, density and boiling point increase.

Group 0 elements show trends down the group for particular properties. 
Which of the following statements correctly describe these trends?

Which of the following statements correctly describes what happens when a high voltage is applied to Group 0 elements?

Match the following elements to their symbols.

How many electrons can be held in a full electron shell?
