Halogens in the Atmosphere REVIEWS OF GEOPHYSICS AND SPACE PHYSICS, VOL. 19, NO. 1, PAGES 123-139, FEBRUARY 1981 Halogensin the Atmosphere RALPH J. CICERONE National Centerfor AtmosphericResearch, Boulder, Colorado 80307 ScrippsInstitution of Oceanography,University of California,San Diego,La Jolla, CaliJornia92093 Extant data from measurementsof halogensin the atmosphereare reviewed in the following cate- gories:gaseous chlorine compounds (inorganic and organic), particulate chloride and chloridein precipi- tation,gaseous bromine compounds (inorganic and organic),particulate bromide and bromidein precip- itation, gaseousiodine compounds(inorganic and organic), iodine in particlesand in precipitation, gaseousfluorine compounds (inorganic and organic),and fluoridein particlesand precipitation.The roles that thesedata and other unavailabledata play in defining global cyclesof the halogensare dis- cussed.Speciation of the halogengases in the troposphereis very uncertain:the only inorganicspecies detectedby species-specificmethods are HC1 and SF6. More specificdata are availableon organicforms that containhalogens. Key speciesof gaseoushalogens, either establishedor suspectedto be important, are listedalong with key processesthat needinvestigation. Heterogeneous reactions, both gas-to-particle and particle-to-gasprocesses, precipitation removal, and sea-saltaerosol generation and fractionation processesneed quantitative investigationto allow progressin estimating halogen sourcesand sinks. Where practical, as with stratosphericinorganic chlorine gases,quantitative comparisonsare made be- tween measuredand predictedconcentrations.

  • Periodic Trends in the Main Group Elements
    Chemistry of The Main Group Elements 1. Hydrogen Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it accounts for less than 1% (by mass) in the Earth’s crust. It is the third most abundant element in the living system. There are three naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen (1H) - the most abundant isotope, deuterium (2H), and tritium 3 ( H) which is radioactive. Most of hydrogen occurs as H2O, hydrocarbon, and biological compounds. Hydrogen is a colorless gas with m.p. = -259oC (14 K) and b.p. = -253oC (20 K). Hydrogen is placed in Group 1A (1), together with alkali metals, because of its single electron in the valence shell and its common oxidation state of +1. However, it is physically and chemically different from any of the alkali metals. Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals (such as those of Group 1A and 2A) to for metal hydrides, where hydrogen is the anion with a “-1” charge. Because of this hydrogen may also be placed in Group 7A (17) together with the halogens. Like other nonmetals, hydrogen has a relatively high ionization energy (I.E. = 1311 kJ/mol), and its electronegativity is 2.1 (twice as high as those of alkali metals). Reactions of Hydrogen with Reactive Metals to form Salt like Hydrides Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals to form ionic (salt like) hydrides: 2Li(s) + H2(g) 2LiH(s); Ca(s) + H2(g) CaH2(s); The hydrides are very reactive and act as a strong base. It reacts violently with water to produce hydrogen gas: NaH(s) + H2O(l) NaOH(aq) + H2(g); It is also a strong reducing agent and is used to reduce TiCl4 to titanium metal: TiCl4(l) + 4LiH(s) Ti(s) + 4LiCl(s) + 2H2(g) Reactions of Hydrogen with Nonmetals Hydrogen reacts with nonmetals to form covalent compounds such as HF, HCl, HBr, HI, H2O, H2S, NH3, CH4, and other organic and biological compounds.

The reaction proceeded at room temperature under catalyst- and additive-free conditions to give the branched trifluoromethylselenolated products in good yields. This protocol is also applicable to the Markovnikov-type hydrotrifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated terminal alkenes using [Me4N][SCF3]/TfOH, but not to the hydrotrifluoromethoxylation with CsOCF3/TfOH under the same conditions. The successful hydrotrifluoromethylselenolation and hydrotrifluoromethylthiolation showed simplicity and high regioselectivity, taming the sensitive −XCF3 (X = Se, S) anions with TfOH, and offered a convenient method for the straightforward synthesis of branched trifluoromethyl selenoethers and thioethers from unactivated alkenes.

Williams The reactions of silicon difluoride with several sulfur containing compounds have been investigated in an attempt to synthesize compounds containing the silicon-sulfur bond. Of the previous reactions of silicon difluoride with sulfur com¬ pounds, only two, the hydrogen sulfide and sulfur reactions, produced compounds containing silicon-sulfur bonds. The products of the H2S reaction were SiF2HSH, S^FL+HSH, SiF2HSSH and S^Fi^HSSH. The reaction between SiF2 and sulfur produced both linear and cyclic fluorosilthianes. SiF2 abstracted the oxygen atom from thionyl fluoride and the chloride to form linear and cyclic halosiloxanes.

The main objective of the IPCS is to carry out and disseminate evaluations of the effects of chemicals on human health and the quality of the environment. Supporting activities include the development of epidemiological, experi- mental laboratory, and risk-assessment methods that could produce inter- nationally comparable results, and the development of manpower in the field of toxicology. Other activities carried out by IPCS include the devel- opment of know-how for coping with chemical accidents, coordination of laboratory testing and epidemiological studies, and promotion of research on the mechanisms of the biological action of chemicals.
