Halogen
The halogens orhalogen elements are a series ofnonmetal elements from Group 17 IUPACStyle (formerly: VII, VIIA) of theperiodic table, comprising fluorine(F),chlorine (Cl),bromine
(Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The artificially created element 117, provisionally referred toby the systematic name ununseptium, may also be a halogen. The group of halogens is the only
periodic table group which contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at standardtemperature and pressure.
Abundance
Owing to their high reactivity, the halogens are found in the environment only in compounds or
as ions. Halide ions and oxoanionssuch as iodate (IO3) can be found in many minerals and in
seawater. Halogenated organic compounds can also be found as natural products in living
organisms. In their elemental forms, the halogens exist as diatomic molecules, but these only
have a fleeting existence in nature and are much more common in the laboratory and in industry.At room temperature and pressure, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid and iodine
and astatine are solids; Group 17 is therefore the only periodic table group exhibiting all three
states of matterat room temperature.
Properties
Fluorine, (F); chlorine, (Cl); bromine, (Br); iodine, (I) at room temperature. The first two aregaseous, the third is liquid and the fourth is solid.
Like other groups, the candidates of this family show patterns in its electron configuration,
especially the outermost shells resulting in trends in chemical behavior:

Chemistry
Reactivity
Halogens are highly reactive, and as such can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in
sufficient quantities. This high reactivity is due to the atoms being highly electronegativedue totheir high effective nuclear charge. They can gain an electron by reacting with atoms of other
elements. Fluorine is one of the most reactive elements in existence, attacking otherwise inert
materials such as glass, and forming compounds with the heaviernoble gases. It is a corrosive
and highly toxic gas. The reactivity of fluorine is such that if used or stored in laboratoryglassware, it can react with glass in the presence of small amounts of water to form silicon
tetrafluoride (SiF4). Thus fluorine must be handled with substances such as Teflon (which is
itself an organofluorine compound), extremely dry glass, or metals such as copper or steel whichform a protective layer of fluoride on their surface.
The high reactivity of fluorine means that once it does react with something, it bonds with it so
strongly that the resulting molecule is very inert and non-reactive to anything else. For example,Teflon is fluorine bonded with carbon.
Both chlorine and bromine are used as disinfectants for drinking water, swimming pools, fresh
wounds, spas, dishes, and surfaces. They kill bacteria and other potentially harmful
microorganisms through a process known as sterilization. Their reactivity is also put to use in
bleaching. Sodium hypochlorite, which is produced from chlorine, is the active ingredient ofmost fabricbleaches and chlorine-derived bleaches are used in the production of some paper
products.
Hydrogen halides
The halogens all form binary compounds with hydrogen known as the hydrogen halides (HF,
HCl, HBr, HI, and HAt), a series of particularly strong acids. When in aqueous solution, the
hydrogen halides are known ashydrohalic acids. HAt, or "hydroastatic acid", should also qualify,but it is not typically included in discussions of hydrohalic acid due to astatine's extreme
instability toward alpha decay.
Interhalogen compounds
The halogens react with each other to form interhalogen compounds. Diatomic interhalogen
compounds such as BrF, ICl, and ClF bear resemblance to the pure halogens in some respects.
The properties and behaviour of a diatomic interhalogen compound tend to be intermediatebetween those of its parent halogens. Some properties, however, are found in neither parent
halogen. For example, Cl2 and I2 are soluble in CCl4, but ICl is not since it is apolar molecule
due to the relatively largeelectronegativitydifference between I and Cl.

Organohalogen compounds
Many synthetic organic compounds such as plasticpolymers, and a few natural ones, contain
halogen atoms; these are known as halogenatedcompounds ororganic halides. Chlorine is by farthe most abundant of the halogens, and the only one needed in relatively large amounts (as
chloride ions) by humans. For example, chloride ions play a key role in brain function bymediating the action of the inhibitory transmitterGABA and are also used by the body toproduce stomach acid. Iodine is needed in trace amounts for the production ofthyroidhormones
such as thyroxine. On the other hand, neither fluorine nor bromine are believed to be essential for
humans.
Polyhalogenated compounds
Polyhalogenated compounds are industrially created compounds substituted with multiple
halogens. Many of them are very toxic and bioaccumulate in humans, and have a very wide
application range. They include the much maligned PCB's, PBDE's, and PFC's as well asnumerous other compounds.
Reactivity with water
Fluorine reacts vigorously with water to produce oxygen(O2) and hydrogen fluoride (HF):[3]
2 F2(g) + 2 H2O(l) O2(g) + 4 HF(aq)
Chlorine has minimal solubility of 0.7g Cl2 per kg of water at ambient temperature (21oC).[4]
Dissolved chlorine reacts to formhydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid, a solution that
can be used as a disinfectantorbleach:
Cl2(g) + H2O(l) HCl(aq) + HClO(aq)
Bromine has a solubility of 3.41 g per 100 g of water, [5] but it slowly reacts to form hydrogen
bromide (HBr) and hypobromous acid (HBrO):
Br2(g) + H2O(l) HBr(aq) + HBrO(aq)
Iodine, however, is minimally soluble in water (0.03 g/100 g water @ 20 C) and does not react
with it.[6]However, iodine will form an aqueous solution in the presence of iodide ion, such as by
addition ofpotassium iodide (KI), because the triiodide ion is formed.

Fluorine is the chemical element withatomic number9, represented by the symbol F. Fluorine
forms a single bond with itself in elemental form, resulting in the diatomic F2 molecule. F2(fluorine) is a supremely reactive, poisonous, pale, yellowish brown gas. Elemental fluorine is
the most chemically reactive and electronegativeof all the elements. For example, it will readily"burn" hydrocarbons at room temperature, in contrast to the combustion of hydrocarbons by
oxygen, which requires an input of energy with a spark. Therefore, molecular fluorine is highly
dangerous, more so than otherhalogens such as the poisonous chlorinegas.
Fluorine's highest electronegativity and small atomic radius give unique properties to many of its
compounds. For example, the enrichment of 235U, the principal nuclear fuel, relies on the
volatility of UF6. Also, the carbonfluorine bond is one of the strongest bonds in organic
chemistry. This contributes to the stability and persistence offluoroalkane based organofluorinecompounds, such as PTFE/(Teflon) and PFOS. The carbonfluorine bond's inductive effects
result in the strength of many fluorinated acids, such as triflic acidandtrifluoroacetic acid. Drugs

are often fluorinated at biologically reactive positions, to prevent their metabolism and prolong
their half-lives.
Characteristics
Physical characteristics
F2 is a corrosive pale yellow or brown[1]gas that is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is the most
reactive and most electronegative of all the elements on the classic Pauling scale (4.0), and
readily forms compounds with most other elements. It is found in the -1 oxidation state, exceptwhen bonded to another fluorine in F2 which gives it an oxidation number of 0. Fluorine
combines with the noble gasesargon, krypton,xenon, andradon. Even in dark, cool conditions,
fluorine reacts explosively with hydrogen. The reaction with hydrogen can occur at extremelylow temperatures, using liquid hydrogen and solid fluorine. It is so reactive that metals, water, aswell as most othersubstances, burn with a bright flame in a jet of fluorine gas. In moist air, it
reacts with water to form the also dangerous hydrofluoric acid.
Chemical characteristics
Fluorine as a freely reacting oxidant gives the strongest oxidants known.
Occurrence
Fluorite (CaF2) crystals
Fluorine is obtained from two sources, mainly. The production of phosphate fertilizers from
apatite generates a byproduct of hydrogen fluoride that is collected. The other main source is themineral fluorite, CaF2, which is widespread.

Organofluorine compounds are naturally rare compounds. Though F2 is too reactive to have any
natural biological role, fluorine is incorporated into compounds with biological activity.
Naturally occurring organofluorine compounds are rare, the most notable example isfluoroacetate, which functions as a plant defence against herbivores in at least 40 plants in
Australia, Brazil, and Africa.[2] The enzyme adenosyl-fluoride synthase catalyzes the formation
of 5'-deoxy-5'-fluoroadenosine. Fluorine is not an essential nutrient, but its importance inpreventing tooth decay is well-recognized.[3] The effect is predominantly topical, although prior
to 1981 it was considered primarily systemic (occurring through ingestion).[4]
From the perspective of cosmology, fluorine is relatively rare because the solar temperatures
needed to make it also enable it to quickly fuse with hydrogen to form oxygen and helium , orwith helium to become neon. Most fluorine is created either during a supernova when a neutrino
hits an atom of neon, or when a blue Wolf-Rayet star massing over 40 solar masses has a stellar
wind blowing the fluorine out of the star before hydrogen or helium can destroy it. [5]
Isotopes
Although fluorine has multiple isotopes, only one of these isotopes (19F) is stable, and the othershave short half-lives and are not found in nature. Fluorine is thus a mononuclidic element.
The nuclide 18F is the radionuclide of fluorine with the longest half life (about 110 minutes), and
commercially is an important source ofpositrons, finding its major use in positron emission
tomography scanning.
Chemistry of fluorine compounds
Fluorine forms a variety of very different compounds, owing to its small atomic size and
covalent behavior. Elemental fluorine is a dangerously powerful oxidant, reflecting the extremeelectronegativity of fluorine. Hydrofluoric acid is extremely dangerous, whereas, in syntheticdrugs incorporating an aromatic ring (e.g.,flumazenil), fluorine is used to help prevent toxication
or to delay metabolism[citation needed].
Fluorides are compounds that combine fluorine with some positively charged counterpart. They
often consist of crystalline ionic salts. Fluorine compounds with metals are among the moststable of salts.
Hydrogen fluoride is a weak acid when dissolved in water, but is still very corrosive and attacks
glass. Consequently, fluorides of alkali metalsproduce basic solutions. For example, a 1 M
solution of NaF in water has a pH of 8.59 compared to a 1 M solution of NaOH, a strong base,which has a pH of 14.00.[6]
The fluoride ion is basic, therefore hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid in water solution. However,
water is not an inert solvent in this case: When less basic solvents such as anhydrous acetic acid
are used, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest of the hydrohalogenic acids. Also, owing to thebasicity of the fluoride ion, soluble fluorides give basic water solutions. The fluoride ion is a
Lewis base, and has a high affinity to certain elements such as calcium and silicon. For example,
deprotection of silicon protecting groups is achieved with a fluoride. The fluoride ion ispoisonous.

Noble gas compounds
The reactivity of fluorine toward the noble gas xenon was first reported by Neil Bartlett in 1962.
Fluorides ofkryptonand radon have also been prepared. Argon fluorohydridehas been observed
at cryogenic temperatures.
Organofluorine compounds
The carbon-fluoride bond is covalent and very stable. The use of a fluorocarbon polymer,
poly(tetrafluoroethene) or Teflon, is an example: It is thermostable and waterproof enough to beused in frying pans. Organofluorines may be safely used in applications such as drugs, without
the risk of release of toxic fluoride. In synthetic drugs,toxication can be prevented. For example,
anaromatic ring is useful but presents a safety problem: enzymes in the body metabolize some ofthem into poisonous epoxides. When thepara position is substituted with fluorine, the aromatic
ring is protected and epoxide is no longer produced.
The substitution of fluorine forhydrogen in organic compounds offers a very large number ofcompounds. These compounds often feature single C-F units, but -CF3 and -OCF3 group providefurther variation, and more recently the -SF5 group.

Chlorine is the chemical element with atomic number17 and symbol Cl. It is a halogen, found
in theperiodic table ingroup 17 (formerly VII, VIIa, or VIIb). As the chlorideion, which is part
ofcommon salt and other compounds, it is abundant in nature and necessary to most forms of
life, including humans. In its elemental form (Cl2 or "dichlorine") under standard conditions,chlorine is a powerfuloxidant and is used inbleaching and disinfectants, as well as an essential
reagent in the chemical industry. As a common disinfectant, chlorine compounds are used inswimming pools to keep them clean and sanitary. In theupper atmosphere, chlorine-containing
molecules such as chlorofluorocarbons have been implicated in the destruction of the ozone
layer.
Characteristics
Physical characteristics
At standard temperature and pressure, two chlorine atoms form the diatomic moleculeCl2. Thisis a pale yellow-green gas that has its distinctive strong smell, the smell of bleach. The bonding
between the two atoms is relatively weak (only 242.580 0.004 kJ/mol), which makes the Cl2molecule highly reactive.
Chemical characteristics
Along with fluorine, bromine, iodine, andastatine, chlorine is a member of the halogenseriesthat forms the group 17 of the periodic table. Chlorine forms compounds with almost all of the
elements to give compounds that are usually called chlorides. Chlorine gas reacts with most
organic compounds, and will even sluggishly support the combustion ofhydrocarbons.[3]
Hydrolysis
At 10 C and atmospheric pressure, one liter of water dissolves 3.10 L of gaseous chlorine, [4]

This conversion to the right is called disproportionation, because the ingredient chlorine both
increases and decreases in formal oxidation state. The solubility of chlorine in water is increased
if the water contains dissolved alkali hydroxide, and in this way, chlorine bleach is produced.
Cl2 + 2 OH- ClO- + Cl- + H2O
Chlorine gas only exists in a neutral or acidic solution.
Compounds
Chlorine exists in all odd numbered oxidation states from 1 to +7, as well as the elemental state
of zero (see Table). Progressing through the states, hydrochloric acid can be oxidized usingmanganese dioxide, orhydrogen chloride gas oxidized catalytically by air to form elemental
chlorine gas.

Interhalogen compounds
Chlorine oxidizes bromide and iodide salts to bromine and iodine, respectively. But it cannot
oxidize fluoride to fluorine. It makes are variety of "interhalogen compounds" such as thechlorine fluorides, chlorine monofluoride (ClF), chlorine trifluoride (ClF3), chlorine
pentafluoride (ClF5). Chlorides of bromine and iodine are also known.
Organo chlorine compounds
Chlorine is used extensively in organic in substitution and addition reactions. Chlorine often
imparts many desired properties to an organic compound, in part due to its electronegativity.Organochlorine compounds are also serious pollutants, either as side products of industrial
processes or as persistent pesticidess.
Many important industrial products are produced via organochlorine intermediates. Examplesinclude polycarbonates, polyurethanes, silicones, polytetrafluoroethylene, carboxymethyl
cellulose, and propylene oxide. Like the other halogens, chlorine participates in free-radical
substitution reactions with hydrogen-containing organic compounds. When applied to organic
substrates, reaction is oftenbut not invariablynon-regioselective, and, hence, may result in amixture of isomeric products. It is often difficult to control the degree of substitution as well, so
multiple substitutions are common. If the different reaction products are easily separated, e.g., by

distillation, substitutive free-radical chlorination (in some cases accompanied by concurrent
thermal dehydrochlorination) may be a useful synthetic route. Industrial examples of this are the
production ofmethyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride frommethane, allyl chloridefrom propylene, and trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene from 1,2-
dichloroethane.
Like the other halides, chlorine undergoes electrophilic additions reactions, the most notable one
being the chlorination of alkenes and aromatic compounds with a Lewis acid catalyst. Organicchlorine compounds tend to be less reactive in nucleophilic substitution reactions than the
corresponding bromine or iodine derivatives, but they tend to be cheaper. They may be activated
for reaction by substituting with a tosylate group, or by the use of a catalytic amount of sodiumiodide.
Chlorides
Chlorine combines with almost all elements to give chlorides. Compounds with oxygen,
nitrogen, xenon, and krypton are known, but do not form by direct reaction of the elements.[5]
Chloride is one of the most common anions in nature. Hydrogen chloride and its aqueous
solution, hydrochloric acid, are produced on megaton scale annually both as valued intermediates
but sometimes as undesirable pollutants.
Chlorine oxides
Chlorine forms a variety of oxides: chlorine dioxide (ClO2), dichlorine monoxide (Cl2O),
dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7). The anionic derivatives of these same oxides are also well known
including chlorate (ClO3), chlorite (ClO2),hypochlorite(ClO
), andperchlorate (ClO4), andchloramine (NH2Cl).
[6] The acid derivatives of these anions are hypochlorous acid (HOCl),
chloric acid(HClO3) andperchloric acid (HClO4).
In hot concentrated alkali solution hypochlorite disproportionates:
2 ClO Cl + ClO2
ClO + ClO2 Cl + ClO3
Sodium chlorate andpotassium chloratecan be crystallized from solutions formed by the above
reactions. If their crystals are heated, they undergo a further, final disproportionation:
4 ClO3 Cl + 3 ClO4
This same progression from chloride to perchlorate can be accomplished by electrolysis. The
anode reaction progression is:[7]

Occurrence
In nature, chlorine is found primarily as the chloride ion, a component of the salt that is
deposited in the earth or dissolved in the oceans about 1.9% of the mass of seawater is
chloride ions. Even higher concentrations of chloride are found in the Dead Sea and inunderground brine deposits. Most chloride salts are soluble in water, thus, chloride-containing
minerals are usually only found in abundance in dry climates or deep underground. Common
chloride minerals include halite (sodium chloride), sylvite (potassium chloride), and carnallite
(potassium magnesium chloride hexahydrate). Over 2000 naturally occurring organic chlorinecompounds are known.[8]
In the interstellar medium, chlorine is produced insupernovaevia ther-process.[9]
Isotopes
Chlorine has a wide range ofisotopes, the two principal stableisotopes being 35Cl (75.77%) and37Cl (24.23%); they give chlorine atoms an apparent atomic weight of 35.4527 g/mol.
Trace amounts ofradioactive36Cl exist in the environment, in a ratio of about 7x1013 to 1 with
stable isotopes. 36Cl is produced in the atmosphere by spallation of 36Ar by interactions withcosmic rayprotons. In the subsurface environment, 36Cl is generated primarily as a result of
neutron captureby 35Cl ormuon capture by 40Ca. 36Cl decays to 36S and to 36Ar, with a combined
half-life of 308,000 years. The half-life of this hydrophilic nonreactive isotope makes it suitable
forgeologic dating in the range of 60,000 to 1 million years. Additionally, large amounts of 36Clwere produced by irradiation of seawater during atmospheric detonations of nuclear weapons
between 1952 and 1958. The residence time of36Cl in the atmosphere is about 1 week. Thus, asan event marker of 1950s water in soil and ground water, 36Cl is also useful for dating waters less
than 50 years before the present. 36Cl has seen use in other areas of the geological sciences,
including dating ice and sediments.
Laboratory methods
Small amounts of chlorine gas can be made in the laboratory by combining hydrochloric acid
and manganese dioxide. Alternatively a strong acid such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid
