The halogens or halogen elements are a series of nonmetal elements from Group 17 IUPAC Style (formerly: VII, VIIA) of the Periodic Table, comprising fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The artificially created element 117, provisionally referred to by the systematic name ununseptium, may also be a halogen. The group of halogens is the only periodic table group which contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at standard temperature and pressure.
Halogens naturally occur in the gaseous state. Examples of halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
They have to gain 1 electron. Halogens have 7 electrons in their valence shell and noble gasses have 8.
Helium is a Noble Gas. It belongs to the group 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table.
Halogens Apex ;)
That is correct. Halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine readily react with metals to form ionic compounds called salts. For example, sodium chloride (table salt) is formed when sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas.

All halogens have 7 valence electrons. They gain one electron and achieve noble gas electronic configuration

Chlorine is the most reactive gas element. Chlorine is in the halogen family.
The atomic mass 19 is for fluorine, the ist member of halogens it exists as F2,a diatomic gas.
Helium is a Noble Gas. It belongs to the group 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table.
Halogens do not have a specific pH as they are elements on the periodic table and do not directly contribute to the acidity or basicity of a solution. However, when halogens react with water, they can form acidic solutions. For example, when chlorine gas dissolves in water, it forms hydrochloric acid, which can lower the pH of the solution. Overall, the pH of a solution containing halogens would depend on the specific halogen present and its reactivity with water.
Halogens have high reactivity because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This reactivity decreases as you move down the group from fluorine to iodine.

No. Halogens are group 17 elements. Noble gases are group 18 elements.
