Halogens are not like metals. Halogens are elements missing one electron for full valency.
Non metals
Alkali metals, transition metals, halogens or Transition metals, halogens, noble gases or Alkali earth metals, halogens, noble gases
Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Halogens: When reacting with halogens, these metals create metal halides. Halide refers to a compound that is one part halogen. These reactions would look similar to
Halogens are the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.
The elements of the 1st GROUP of the periodic table are called alkali metals. The elements of the 17th GROUP of the periodic table are called halogens. Alkali metals are soft metals whereas halogens are non-metals.
All alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and halogens have a common valence electron configuration: alkali metals have 1 valence electron, alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, and halogens have 7 valence electrons. This shared electron configuration influences their chemical properties, such as reactivity and bonding tendencies.
halogens
halogens are represented the same way as alkaline metals, you can use subscripts
Because a strong electrostatic attraction exist between halogens and metals.
