Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main product when hydrogen reacts with halogens?
  • Step 1: Understand what halogens are. Halogens are a group of elements in the periodic table, including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
  • Step 2: Know that hydrogen is a chemical element represented by the symbol 'H'.
  • Step 3: When hydrogen (H) reacts with a halogen (like Cl), they combine to form a new substance.
  • Step 4: The new substance formed is called a hydrogen halide. For example, when hydrogen reacts with chlorine, it forms hydrogen chloride (HCl).
  • Step 5: Hydrogen halides are considered acids when dissolved in water. For example, hydrogen chloride in water becomes hydrochloric acid.
