Why are halogens coloured?
Why are all halogens coloured?

उत्तर
Almost all halogens are coloured. This is because halogens absorb radiation in the visible region. This results in the excitation of valence electrons to a higher energy region. Since the amount of energy required for excitation differs for each halogen, each halogen displays a different colour.

The reaction \[\ce{3ClO- (aq) -> ClO3- (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)}\] is an example of
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF << HCl << HBr << HI.
Statement II: As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, and I increase down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCl, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases.
