    Introduction.

    Halogens are non metals that rapidly react with metals to form
    salts. Halogen comes from the Greek word “halo” which means
    sea salt and “gen which means salt production. Halogens are
    elements found in group 7 and are considered group 7 elements
    because they have 7 electrons on their outer shell and need one
    more electron to have a fully formed outer shell. Halogens are:
    1. Fluorine
    2. Chlorine
    3. Bromine
    4. Iodine
    5. Astatine
    6. Tennessinne
    Today, we will talk about uses of each of these elements.

    Uses of halogens

    PAGE 1
    A. Uses of fluorine

    1. Toothpaste: Fluorine is added to toothpaste in order to prevent dental cavities by


    making the tooth resistant to acid attacks. It also strengthens enamel; hard and
    translucent material that protects our teeth

    2. Detection of diseases: As a metal, it can be used to map the circulatory system


    and other disorders.

    B. Uses of chlorine

    1. Cleaning: It is used in cleaning products, including household bleach which is


    chlorine dissolved in water.

    2. Disinfection: It is also used to disinfect water and even swimming pools and is
    also part of the sanitation process for sewage and industrial waste.

    C. Uses of bromine

    1. Energy storage: Bromine-based storage techniques are an efficient and cost-


    effective electro-chemical energy storage solution, providing multiple options to
    successfully manage energy produced from renewable sources, reducing energy
    loss, reducing overall energy use and tremendous cost and safeguarding security
    of supply.

    2. Reduction of mercury emissions: Bromine can be used to reduce mercury


    emissions from coal-fired power plants. About 40% of the world’s electricity is
    generated by coal powered plants. When coal goes through combustion, mercury
    that is present in the coal may be released. Mercury is considered a public health
    concern.

    D. Uses of iodine

    1. Promotes thyroid health: Iodine helps to make hormones in the body. It also helps
    regulate brain development and mental activity, cardiovascular health,
    metabolism and digestion, breathing and among others. Iron defiency will cause
    one to have abnormal breathing, abnormal metabolism and digestion, reduction
    in mental activeness, abnormal heart rates etc.

    2. Dressing of wound: Iodine dressing is a valuable tool in wound care due to


    its antiseptic properties, removal of damaged tissue and pathogens capabilities,
    and broad applicability.
