Base your answers to questions 51 through 53 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry. The elements in Group 17 are called halogens. The word "halogen" is derived from Greek and means "salt former.”
51 State the trend in electronegativity for the halogens as these elements are considered in order of increasing atomic number [1]
| Answer-->As atomic number increase, electronegativity decrease |
52 Identify the type of chemical bond that forms when potassium reacts with bromine to form a salt. [1]
53 Based on Table F, identify one ion that reacts with iodide ions in an aqueous solution to form an insoluble compound.[1]
| Answer--> Ag+ or Pb2+ or Hg22+ see Table F halides |
