Chemistry - June 2006

Please do not copy and paste Wikipedia's Definition of:

"The term halogen was coined to mean elements which produce salt in union with a metal. It comes from 18th century scientific French nomenclature based on erring adaptations of Greek roots."

...because that explaination didn't sufficiently explain how the world "halogen" came about. Thanks much in advance!

I need to synthesize a polymer with a melting point somewhere around 20-25 C. It would need to have all the same sort of things people-friendly chemicals need (non-carcinogenic, preferably flame-resistant, if possible, etc.) Any help on this would be most appreciated, along with any on how one would go about making this polymer.
