Hydroxides of the Third Row Elements

Science > Chemistry > Third Row Elements > Hydroxides of Third Row Elements In this article, we shall study hydroxides of third row elements. Different types of hydroxides of third-row elements are classified according to their mode of dissociation. According to Arrhenius’s theory, the acid is the substance which gives H+ ions in an aqueous […]

Halogens

The five elements; Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine(Br), Iodine (I) and Astatine (At) belonging to VII A Group of the modern periodic table are collectively referred as halogens. The last element Astatine is radioactive and is very short lived hence generally excluded from the study. The word halogen is derived from the Greek words Halos […]
