The Periodic Table

The Halogens - Properties.

The halogens are the only group of the periodic table
which have solid, liquid and gaseous elements at room temperature.

Fluorine is an extremely reactive pale yellow gas.

Chlorine is a reactive yellow-green gas.

Bromine is a less reactive red-brown liquid.

Iodine is a still less reactive dark grey (or black) solid.
When iodine is heated it sublimes to become a gas with a purple vapour.
