Answer:

solid

Step-by-step explanation:

Melting and boiling points of Group 7 elements State at room temperature Room temperature is usually taken as being 25°C. At this temperature, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids. There is therefore a trend in state from gas to liquid to solid as you go down the group.
