Study Notes
Defining Characteristic of Halogens
- Reactivity: Halogens are characterized by their high reactivity, which is a defining characteristic of the group.
Electronegativity and Reactivity
- Most Electronegative and Reactive Element: Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative and reactive element in the halogen group.
Halogenation
- Unique Property: Halogens exhibit a unique property of replacing hydrogen atoms in organic compounds with halogen atoms, a process known as halogenation.
