no, they have seven
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
true
Your question reveals a common confusion between orbitals and shells. Chlorine has three electron shells: the first, second and third. The first shell has just the one orbital, the 1s The second shell has two sub-shells, the 2s and the 2p. There are three p orbitals in the 2p sub-shell. Each orbital can hold two electrons, so there are eight electrons maximum in the second shell. The third shell likewise has two sub-shells, the 3s and the 3p, but the 3p is not completely filled, leaving room for one more electron. When chlorine gains this electron it will become a Cl- ion. This is summed up in the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p5.
True!
Chlorine and iodine are both non-metals Neither are radioactive They are both made in nature
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
True
true
No,. The halogens will gain 1 electron when they react if electrons are exchanged.
true
Electrons surround the nucleus and are not inside one.
Iodine
both a and b are true for iodine and radioactive iodine isotope
