How does the electropositivity vary down the group of halogens? 

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Group of Halogens**: - The halogens belong to Group 17 of the periodic table, which includes fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). 2. **Electronegativity Trend**: - As we move down the group from fluorine to iodine, the electronegativity of the elements decreases. - Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, while iodine is the least electronegative among the halogens. ...
