Answer:
solid
Explanation:
Melting and boiling points of Group 7 elements State at room temperature Room temperature is usually taken as being 25°C. At this temperature, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids. There is therefore a trend in state from gas to liquid to solid as you go down the group.
In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
