What element is the top of the halogen family?
Helium
Why are the elements in the halogen family very reactive?
The elements in the halogen family are in group 7 and thus have 7 valence electrons. They are very reactive because the want an additional electron to complete the octet. They can get this additional electron by reacting with another element willing to donate that electron. A perfect example is an element from group 1 or 2 (alkali or alkali earth) which wants to donate an electron.
What element is most similar to astatine?
Astatine is similar to the halogen family
Is the halogen family considered highly reactive or not?
Yes, halogen family is considered highly reactive. It easily gains 1 electron to form anion.
What element family do atoms tend to share electrons in chemical bonds?

halogen family
What element is in the halogen family in period 3 of the periodic table?
chlorine
What element is in the halogen family and in the second period of the periodic table?
fluorine
How many electrons that an atom in the in the halogen family usually gains or shares?
One electron.
Which halogen is most likely to react?
it will mostly likely react with noble gases, because they only require one additional electron to form a full octet.
