The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect color representation of halogens, we will analyze the colors of each halogen element step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Halogens**: The halogens are found in Group 17 of the periodic table. The elements in this group include fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). 2. **List the Colors of Each Halogen**: - **Fluorine (F)**: The color of fluorine is pale yellow. - **Chlorine (Cl)**: The color of chlorine is greenish-yellow. - **Bromine (Br)**: The color of bromine is reddish-brown. - **Iodine (I)**: The color of iodine is violet-black. 3. **Analyze the Given Options**: - **Option 1**: Fluorine - Yellow (Correct) - **Option 2**: Chlorine - Colorless (Incorrect) - **Option 3**: Bromine - Red (Partially Correct, as it is reddish-brown) - **Option 4**: Iodine - Violet (Correct) 4. **Determine the Incorrect Match**: - The question asks for the color shown by halogens that is incorrectly matched. - Chlorine is incorrectly matched as colorless when it is actually greenish-yellow. 5. **Conclusion**: The color shown by halogen that is incorrectly given is chlorine as colorless. ### Final Answer: The incorrect color representation is **Chlorine - Colorless**. ---
