Why in the News?<\/h2>\n

Recently, Chemists have successfully synthesized an interhalogen compound featuring a distinctive central fluorine atom surrounded by four BrF5 groups.<\/p>\n

What are halogens?<\/h2>\n
\"Halogen\"
Source- Calce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1. Halogens refer to the six nonmetallic elements found in Group 17<\/span> (Group VIIa) of the periodic table<\/span>.<\/p>\n

2. The halogen elements are- fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At), and tennessine (Ts).<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The term halogen means “salt-producing”<\/span> because halogens react with metals to create various salts. For example<\/strong> sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt is the most familiar.<\/p>\n

4. Properties<\/strong>:
\na.<\/strong> Halogens are highly reactive and don’t exist freely in nature<\/span>. They are the most reactive nonmetals.
\nb.<\/strong> Fluorine is the most reactive<\/span> among all the halogens, while iodine is the least reactive<\/span>.
\nc.<\/strong> Halogens are the only group<\/span> on the periodic table where elements exist as solids, liquids, and gases at room temperature<\/span>. Chlorine and fluorine are gases<\/span>, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids under normal temperature and pressure.
\nd.<\/strong> They are strong oxidizers and have very high electronegativities<\/span>.<\/p>\n

About Fluorine<\/h2>\n

1. Fluorine is obtained from a calcium salt<\/span> known as calcium fluoride, or fluorspar<\/span>.<\/p>\n

2. It is a highly reactive<\/span> element.<\/p>\n

3. In compounds, fluorine is the most prevalent halogen found in Earth’s crust.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. It is used in making fluorochemicals, plastics, agrochemicals, lithium-ion batteries, and drugs.<\/p>\n
