describe and interpret, in terms of changes in oxidation number, the reaction of chlorine with cold and with hot aqueous sodium hydroxide and recognise these as disproportionation reactions
describe and explain the reactions of halide ions with: (a) aqueous silver ions followed by aqueous ammonia (the formation and formula of the \([Ag(NH_3)_2]^+\) complex is not required) (b) concentrated sulfuric acid, to include balanced chemical equations
describe and explain the different reactivities of halogenoalkanes (with particular reference to the relative strengths of the C-X bonds as exemplified by the reactions of halogenoalkanes with aqueous silver nitrates)
