As youdescendgroup 7 no of e increases
more e means stronger van der waals forces betweenmoleculesand so
more energyneeded to overcome these forces b p increases down the group
Bond polarityandnucleophiles
halogens are more electronegative than carbon so pull e towards themserve
a covalent bond leads to a polar bond
e 91
HE É
polar bond means that theycan be attacked by nucleophiles
nucleophile a substance that is an e pair donor
