Why are halogens coloured?



Answer -

Almost all halogens are coloured.This is because halogens absorb radiations in the visible region. This resultsin the excitation of valence electrons to a higher energy region. Since theamount of energy required for excitation differs for each halogen, each halogendisplays a different colour.
