Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
- The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals. - The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals. - The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens. - The Group 8A elements are called the Noble Gases
The elements in group 17 are collectively called the halogens.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
halogens mean salt-former halogens form inorganic salts easily
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
No, they are not.
The halogens are are the most active nonmetals. There're 5 non-metallic elements in the halogen family. The term "halogen" means "salt-former" & compounds containing halogens are called "salts".They are: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine & Astatine
halogens
The common name for group seven non-metals is Halogens. The non-metals in the group are Fluorine, Chlorine, bromine and iodine.
Halogens
Halogens
nonmetals, alkali metals, and halogens, among others.To be precise it is elements in IUPAC groups 1,2, and 13 to 18 -- otherwise designated as the "s-block and p-block" elements.
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
Group 17 elements are called halogens. They include Fluorine-F, Chlorine-Cl, Bromine-Br, Iodine-I, and Astatine-At. They are all nonmetals and are reactive because they have 7 electrons in their outer shell, just one electron short of having a full shell.
Halogens Apex ;)
