Halogens (F, Cl, I, Br, At and probable Uus) are contained in the group 17 of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev.
Salt formers / group 17 elements. The elements of Group VII (or group 17) of the Periodic Table are called halogens, which means "salt formers"
The Halogens.
Fluorine and the rest of the group are known as "Halogens" (salt-formers, literally)
Elements in group 17 are known as halogens, which means "salt formers" in Greek. They include elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
Halogens "Salt formers" from Greek Hals-salt and gens-to generate
ἁλογόνα [alogona] halogens (plural)ἁλογόνo [alogono] halogen (singular)from French halogène < Ancient Greek ἁλ- (ἅλς) [=salt] -ο- + -gène~-γόνον [=generator]
halogens
The name halogen comes from the Greek words "halos"=salt and "genos"=produced by; halogens can produce salts (halogenides) as a result of the reaction with metals.. The term was introduced by Berzelius.
halogens mean salt-former halogens form inorganic salts easily
it is combination of two greek words "hallo means salts" and "gen means generate" .. experiments showed that they form salts when combine with alkali metals so they were named halogens means salt formers.
Halogens these are the salt forming elements which are highly reactive
