ii) From colourless to reddish brown [1]
iii) Bromine is less reactive than chlorine hence it will not be able to
displace chlorine from its solution. [1]
c) Each atom has 7 valence electrons so they form a single covalent bond
with another atom of the same kind to form an octet structure hence
diatomic. [1]
