Exist naturally as…
Diatomic molecules
Melting boiling point trend
Increases as size increases
Reactivity
Decreases as size increases
Electronegativity
Decreases as size increases
Are what kind of agent?
Oxidizing agents
Bond enthalpy?
Energy required to break one mole of bonds in gaseous form
Bond enthalpy trend?
Increase in bond enthalpy as you go up the table, but fluorine is lower as its small atom size means electrons are squished together tightly.
What is a halogen halide?
Halogen-halogen compound. Thing that is (+) is based on electronegativity. Larger molecules can expand and form octet if needed.
Reactivity?
Very reactive
