What examiners said
This question is about Group Vll of the Periodic Table. Most candidates gained some credit for this question. Trends in reactivity and density were tested in the first two responses. In Group Vll, reactivity decreases and density increases going down the group. Many candidates knew that the elements in Group Vll have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.

The colour of bromine is described in the syllabus as red-brown. The only alternative that was accepted was orange-brown.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0653/41 Q5(a)(i) (Cambridge)
The temperature range allowed for the melting point of bromine meant that credit was often awarded. Credit for suggesting that astatine would be a solid was gained by almost all of the candidates.
