Group 17 elements (also called halogens) are highly reactive. They are the only group in the Periodic Table which contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at 25°C and 1 atm. The halogens form hydrides with hydrogen, all of which are strong acids, with the exception of HF.

Describe and explain

(i) how the thermal stabilities of the Group 17 hydrides vary down the Group, from HCl to HI

(li) how the volatilities of the halogens, from Fluorine to lodine, vary down Group 17.
