This PowerPoint presentation covers group 7 (halogens) of the periodic table. It discusses trends in properties down the group such as appearance, boiling point, atomic radius, electronegativity, and oxidizing power. These trends are demonstrated through displacement reactions where a more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive one from a halide salt. Other reactions covered include the reaction of chlorine with water and alkalis. Methods for testing for halides using silver nitrate and concentrated sulfuric acid are also outlined.
