INTRODUCTION
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students
understand selected GCSE Chemistry topics. It is based on the requirements
of the AQA specification but is suitable for other examination boards.
Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes and
it can also prove useful for classroom teaching with an interactive white
board.
Additional Powerpoints, and the full range of AS and A2 Chemistry topics,
are available from the KNOCKHARDY WEBSITE at...
www.knockhardy.org.uk

REACTION OF HALOGENS WITH METALSREACTION OF HALOGENS WITH METALS

HALOGENS REACT WITH METALS TO PRODUCE METAL HALIDES.

THE EASE OF REACTION DECREASES DOWN THE GROUP F > Cl > Br > I

THIS IS BECAUSE ‘THE LARGER THE HALOGEN ATOM, THE LESS
EASILY IT ATTRACTS THE ELECTRON IT NEEDS
TO FILL ITS OUTER SHELL’

HALOGENS GET LESS REACTIVE AS THE GROUP IS DESCENDED
THIS DECREASE IN REACTIVITY DOWN THE GROUP CAN BE
DEMONSTRATED USING DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS...
A DISPLACEMENT REACTION IS WHERE ONE SPECIES TAKES THE PLACE

THE CHLORINE ATOM PULLS AN ELECTRON OUT OF THE OUTER SHELL OF
THE BROMIDE ION – THE CHLORINE ATOM BECOMES A CHLORIDE ION AND
THE BROMIDE ION BECOMES A BROMINE ATOM.

BECAUSE BROMINE ATOMS ARE LARGER THAN CHLORINE ATOMS, IT IS
EASIER TO PULL ONE OF THEIR OUTER SHELL ELECTRONS OUT.
CHLORINE NOW HAS THE OUTER SHELL ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF
A NOBLE GAS.
