When chlorine (as a gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the chlorine takes the place of the bromine. Because chlorine is more reactive than bromine, it displaces ...

All alkali metal halides are white solids. Note that all the halogens are toxic, and so these reactions should be carried out in a fume cupboard.

It also covers the preparation of bromine and iodine, highlighting their solubility and reactions with metals and other compounds. The halogens are compared based on their reactivity, with ...

The researchers used salts as catalysts in which both components (cation and anion) play an important role: The cation sets ...

molecules containing a carbon–halogen bond, with lithium metal in an organic solvent. For example, a reaction between 1-bromobutane and lithium metal produces n-butyllithium. Organolithiums are ...
