Chemistry of Halogens and Noble Gases

This lecture covers the chemistry of halogens and noble gases, focusing on the properties, reactions, and compounds of elements such as chlorine, bromine, iodine, and xenon. Topics include disproportionation reactions, synthesis of salts, oxidation processes, and the unique characteristics of noble gases. The instructor discusses the preparation of hypochlorites, chlorates, and perchloric acid, as well as the reactivity of halogens with other elements. Additionally, the lecture explores the discovery, properties, and applications of noble gases, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
