Chemistry Chapter 4 : Topic 13
Appearance of Halogens
1 / 18
A student observes a gas in a sealed container that is pale yellow in color and highly reactive. The gas also shows strong oxidizing behavior and is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. Which halogen is being described?
Reasoning: Fluorine is a pale yellow gas and is the most reactive and electronegative halogen.
2 / 18
A laboratory sample of a halogen is observed at room temperature. It exists as a yellow-green gas and is commonly used in water purification due to its disinfecting properties. Identify the halogen.
Reasoning: Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature and is widely used for disinfection.
3 / 18
A chemist notes a reddish-brown liquid that produces irritating vapors and easily evaporates at room temperature. This substance is a halogen in liquid form. Which halogen is it?
Reasoning: Bromine is the only halogen that exists as a red-brown liquid at room temperature.
4 / 18
A solid substance is observed in a laboratory that has a grey-black crystalline appearance. On heating, it produces violet vapors. Identify the halogen.
Reasoning: Iodine is a grey-black solid that sublimes into violet vapors.
5 / 18
Which of the following correctly matches the physical state of halogens at room temperature in increasing order of atomic number?
Reasoning: Fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is liquid, iodine is solid.
6 / 18
A student is given four sealed containers labeled A, B, C, and D containing different halogens. The observations are:
Reasoning: Standard physical appearance order matches option B.
7 / 18
A halogen element is described as follows: It is the lightest halogen, exists as a pale yellow gas, and reacts explosively with most metals and non-metals. Which element is it?
Reasoning: Fluorine is the lightest and most reactive halogen with pale yellow color.
8 / 18
Which halogen is correctly described as producing violet vapors when heated from its solid form?
Reasoning: Iodine sublimates into violet vapors.
9 / 18
A teacher demonstrates a substance that easily evaporates, producing reddish-brown fumes. It is stored in sealed glass ampoules due to its volatility. Identify the substance.
Reasoning: Bromine is volatile red-brown liquid requiring sealed containers.
10 / 18
Which statement correctly distinguishes chlorine from fluorine?
Reasoning: Chlorine is yellow-green gas, fluorine is pale yellow gas.
11 / 18
A halogen is observed in solid state with a metallic grey-black appearance. On gentle heating, it directly converts into vapor without becoming liquid. What property is being demonstrated?
Reasoning: Iodine sublimes (solid → gas directly).
12 / 18
A student mistakenly identifies a halogen gas as green in color and assumes it is fluorine. However, the correct observation shows a yellow-green gas used in bleaching and sterilization. What is the correct identity?
Reasoning: Chlorine is yellow-green; fluorine is pale yellow.
13 / 18
Which halogen shows the most distinct change in physical state compared to others at room temperature?
Reasoning: Bromine is the only halogen liquid at room temperature.
14 / 18
A sealed tube contains a grey-black crystalline solid. On heating, violet vapors fill the tube. The substance is most likely:
Reasoning: This is characteristic behavior of iodine.
15 / 18
Which correct trend describes halogens in terms of physical appearance from top to bottom in Group 17?
Reasoning: Down the group: F₂, Cl₂ gases → Br₂ liquid → I₂ solid.
16 / 18
A highly reactive halogen is observed that is never stored in glass containers due to its extreme corrosiveness and pale yellow color. Identify it.
Reasoning: Fluorine is extremely reactive and pale yellow gas.
17 / 18
Which of the following correct comparisons is true regarding halogen colors?
Reasoning: This matches standard halogen physical appearances.
18 / 18
A gas is observed that strongly bleaches moist litmus paper and has a yellow-green color. It is widely used in disinfecting drinking water. Which halogen is it?
Reasoning: Chlorine is yellow-green and used in water treatment.
