http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slt3_5upuSs&feature=channel 1. Watch the film and answer the questions:
a. Which four elements are liquid at room temperature?

. . . . b. c. d. e. How can you obtain bromine ? Why do we add bromine to plastics ? Why are bromine isotopes unusual ? Why is bromine less dangerous than chlorine ?

2. Fill the gaps while listening.

a. Bromine comes from the Greek word bromos which means 1. _ _ _ _ _ _, a really horrible smell. b. So its a nice 2._ _ _ _ _ _. Were going to get it out of this bottle now. Its 3._ _ _ _ _ _ in because its obviously very, very 4._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ as a liquid and were going to cut the glass, get it out and look at its chemistry. c. So you can make bromine just by 5._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ chlorine into a solution of bromide like Dead Sea water and the chlorine 6._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the bromine and forms chloride and the bromine just comes out as red 7._ _ _ _ _ which you can catch. d. You see all those really nice orange fumes which are coming off from the liquid and then theyre being 8._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ by our 9._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . e. So the reaction is strongly 10._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which means it gives out energy and that energy then evaporates off excess bromine which you can see coming off as a 11._ _ ____.

CHLORINE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXCfBl4rmh0 1. Watch the film and answer the questions: a. How was chlorine used during the First World War? b. Where can we find chlorine? c. Which metal doesn't react with chlorine? d. How long does it take chlorine to consume iron? e. What happens to aluminum in the air which is rich in chlorine?

2. Fill the gaps in the sentences below: a. Chlorine wants another electron to get that ............................ and it will move heaven and earth to get that electron! b. ... so now we're starting to fill that flask with chlorine; it's quite ............................, so it will stick to the bottom of the flask it's not like a light gas like ............................ or........................... c. Chlorine is quite ........................, it reacts with water to make an acid, HCl. d. We're going to heat the aluminum in that .......................... and then we're going to put the hot aluminum into the flask of chlorine, then hopefully we'll see, the chlorine will react with the aluminum and we'll get 6............................ of aluminum trichloride. e. Chlorine removes an ............................ from the metal to make the chloride ion Cl-, and the ............................ is perfectly innocuous, you can drink, you can eat chloride, whereas ............................ itself is very poisonous.
