A GCSE-IGCSE TASK SHEET for KS4 Science-Chemistry courses Email query?comment on this worksheet Task sheet answers * Group 7 Halogens Quizzes Task 1: The properties of the Group 7 Halogen elements
1. (a) Complete the table above.
2. (a) What properties in the table are typical of non-metals?
3. (a) What is the group trend in melting and boiling point down the group with increase in atomic number?
4. The molecules consist of diatomic molecules. What does this mean? 5. (a) What sort of compounds do they form when combined with metals?
6. What sort of compounds do they form when combined with non-metals? eg hydrogen chloride HCl 7. Describe simple chemical tests for (a) chlorine, (b) iodine [clue - biological connection] Task 2: The Reactivity Trend of the Halogens This may be done by you or demonstrated by the teacher What you do is add a solution of the halogen in water to the potassium salts of the other halogens, also dissolved in water. If a displacement reaction occurs the solution gets darker (eg more yellow, orange or brown). It also shows whether one halogen is more reactive than another. Note your observations in the table below.
1. (a) complete the table of results above, either from doing the experiment or working it out from your knowledge of halogen chemistry.
2. (a) Which halogens does chlorine displace?
3. (a) What is the reactivity rule for displacement reactions?
4. From your observations in 2. write word and symbol equations for the other displacement reactions that happened.
5. is higher GCSE students really and involves using redox and electronic theory 5. Write word and ionic equations for the reactions and explain them in terms of oxidation and reduction (electron loss or gain). The equations only involve the halogen molecules and halide ions. Note the potassium ion K+, does not take part in the reaction and is called a 'spectator ion'. The first equation is given BUT not fully balanced ... and then write out the others where a reaction took place
6. Why do elements in the same group have similar chemical properties? 7. How, in electronic terms, do you explain the reactivity trend? Task 3: The Electrolysis of Sodium chloride Solution (Brine) Sodium chloride (NaCl, common salt) is a compound of an alkali metal and a halogen. It is found in large quantities in the sea and in underground deposits. It is a most important raw material for the chemical industry. The cheapest sources are (i) evaporation of seawater and (ii) pumping water down into salt deposits to dissolve it, and then evaporating the pumped out solution (called brine). It is far to costly to make the salt by neutralisation. From salt lots of products can be made. The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution (brine) is an important industrial process. In can be demonstrated in the laboratory using a simple electrolysis cell (shown in the diagram).
1. (a) Would the water be a good conductor without the salt in it?
2. What do you see when the current is witched (i) ON and (ii) OFF? 3. The gases and solutions can be tested in various ways ...
higher GCSE students need to do the electrode equations - balancing and redox theory The ions present in the solution are Na+ and Cl- from the salt and traces of H+ and OH- from water. From your electrolysis experiment observations and using redox theory .... 4. (a) which ions will move towards the negative electrode? which one must have changed to form the gas?
Task 4: The Uses of the Halogens and their compounds 1. Which halogen is used for treating domestic water supplies and swimming pool water? What does it do? 2. Find out four cases where chlorine is changed to another useful compound or material, and briefly describe the uses of them. 3. Find out two uses of hydrogen gas in the manufacture of other products. 4. Find out three products that use sodium hydroxide in their manufacture 5. (a) Which compounds of the halogens are used for photographic film?
6. (a) What is formed on combining chlorine and hydrogen? and describe the product.

Hopefully it will encourage interest and understanding of Chemistry, Earth Science and Radioactivity in any country of the world, though the site is written entirely in English. The website is designed to help and unofficially support students/teachers revise-learn/teach the chemistry for modular or co-ordinated examination science courses from UK QCA based AQA, OCR (Oxford and Cambridge) Twenty First (21st) Century and Gateway Science, Edexcel 360Science , Nuffield, Salters, Cambridge International (CIE), London International, WJEC, CCEA exams etc. Also, national award assessments-examinations for GCSE-IGCSE-KS4-O level-BTEC-NVQ applied, additional and chemistry national science courses. Also covers, mainly via quizzes the UK National KS3 SATs Science-biology/chemistry/physics (SAT revision levels 3-5 or 5-7) and covers much of the revising, learning and teaching chemistry examinations for the national curriculum for secondary schools and colleges. The site does not support the content of England, Wales or Northern Ireland primary science KS1 or KS2. The notes should also provide some background theory for a coursework assignment or project. BUT please note that my on-line revision notes and quizzes are no substitute for good classroom teaching-lecturing and thorough studying of your own notes and textbooks, practicing past papers and a copy of the syllabus which are readily downloaded from the examination board sites, but I hope here and there they will lend a tutoring hand on some topic, unit, module etc. For final revision you have to be intellectually honest about what you don't know or follow, YOU have to take the stuff to pieces, analyse what you do/do not understand and reconstruct it so it all makes sense in the end. There is no other way, there are no magic secrets on how to revise and learn, its mainly down to hard work and just good old fashioned study and employing teach-yourself strategies without the need for extra tutors and tutoring lessons. I also think there is too much hit and miss revision using past papers (which I do NOT supply) and not enough systematic revision. I also hope it will help teachers in planning lessons and developing schemes of work for science-chemistry. There are no lesson plans on the site but there are plenty of quizzes to incorporate into classroom activities whether photocopied or on electronic whiteboard projector for use as self-tuition-assessment purposes and a variety of teaching and learning styles and the images may be used in Microsoft Word documents and powerpoint projections. The site seems to be used by a large number of home study tutors, particularly the revision notes. An individual tutor may print out the notes for science-chemistry learning teaching-tuition purposes and for background material for assignments and projects. I have no interest or time in producing WORD.doc or xxxx.pdf files of the notes at the moment. Neither have I time to write up many practical laboratory experiments ('lab'-'labs') at the moment, but the notes contain lots of background information of chemical reactions in terms of observations-balanced equations-reactants-products-theory etc. I also find it difficult to recommend specific exam websites or syllabus textbooks, it depends exactly on what you need, what you have time for, and there are so many of them to choose from and I do not supply past examination papers for classes. The sites resources include revision notes, quizzes and worksheets which provide support for home study or tuition for homework and coursework help e.g. science investigations for any of the key stage courses indicated, but I do not supply lesson plans.
