Group VII properties — practice question

The table sets out a few properties of four halogens.
(a(i))[2]

Fill in the table by estimating the density of iodine at room temperature and pressure and the boiling point of astatine.

(a(ii))[2]

State the physical state of bromine at 20 ^{\circ}C. Give a reason for your answer.

(b(i))[2]

Complete the chemical equation for this reaction. Br$_2$ + SO$_2$ + … H$_2$O → H$_2$SO$_4$ + … HBr.

(b(ii))[1]

In this reaction both oxidation and reduction occur. State the meaning of the term reduction.

(c)[3]

Use the kinetic particle model to explain these observations.
