Question
The values of G f for the hydrogen halides become less negative with increasing atomic number. The G f of HI is slightly positive. On the other hand, the trend in S f is to become more positive with increasing atomic number. Explain.

Based on general trends, the electron affinity of fluorine would be expected to be greater than that of chlorine; however, the value is less and is similar to the value for bromine. Explain.
What is the trend in reactivity as you go down from $\mathrm{F}$ to I in the periodic table? Give a reason for this trend.
For the hydrogen halides, the order of boiling points is $\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{HI}>\mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HCl}$. (a) Why does HF have the highest boiling point? (b) Why is the boiling point of HI greater than that of $\mathrm{HBr}$ and $\mathrm{HCl}$ ?
