AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the colors of the first four halogens—fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine—in solid, liquid, and gas states, as well as in water and organic solvents. Initial attempts noted some colors, but corrections highlighted that bromine is a liquid at room temperature, and iodine was mistakenly listed twice. It was emphasized that these halogens are diatomic molecules, requiring subscripts. The conversation reflects the challenges students face in chemistry, particularly with color identification of elements. Overall, the thread serves as a collaborative effort to clarify these concepts.

Homework Statement


This is an assignment given by my chemistry teacher. Plz help.

State the colors of the first 4 halogens in:
(i) the three states: (s), (l), (g)
(ii) the two solvents: water, organic solvents


The Attempt at a Solution


I had some figured out:
Cl(s): Yellowish-green
Br(s): Brownish-red
I(s): Black
I(g): Purple

But I still can't figure out the other colors.
Would appreciate the help, thanks.

Please help!
 
I do not know the answer to your question so I would suggest you talk to your chemistry teacher.

Corrections
-bromine is a liquid at room temperature, not a solid.
-iodine appears twice
-need to include flourine
-flourine, bromine, iodine and chlorine each need a subscript '2' because they are diatomic molecules
-flourine and chlorine are gases

I hope this helps
 
Diatomic molecules... Forgot that >.<
Thanks for the thread. (Colors of chemicals are really frustrating!)

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
