Molecules of a halogen e.g. Cl2 are attracted together the weak Van Der Waals forces. these forces can be easily broken with a very small amount of heat, meaning that these halogens have very low boiling points, this allows the halogen to exist as a gas naturally due to its low boiling point.
Because noble gases don't need to give or take any electrons - they have a perfect octet configuration. Where as halogens need to gain or lose electrons and will easily react to other halogens that need to lose or gain.
No. halogens are not inert gases. Halogens are group 17 elements. Inert gases or noble gases are the group 18 elements Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) are the six inert gases.
Halogens are extremely reactive, noble gases are very unreactive. All noble gases are gases; only F and Cl are gases.
halogens and noble
they have similar properties
Halogens easily convert to gases because they are so electronegative. They are easily able to pull electrons from other molecules to pair with the lone p-orbital electron. ---also, this electronegativity causes them to be strong acids when protonated (eg-HCl)

Halogens are very reactive both physically & chemically than that of inert gases ,as halogens have valency 1.

noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.
halogens and noble
Alkali metals, transition metals, halogens or Transition metals, halogens, noble gases or Alkali earth metals, halogens, noble gases
Only fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature. Bromins is a liquid. Iodine and astatine are solids.
