The physical properties of the halogens are all over the place because of dispersion forces. The chemical properties of the halogens, however, are all very similar. They all have 7 valenece electrons, which makes it very easy for them to grab hold of one more to get to 8 and achieve noble gas configuration. So they're all very reactive. They're also diatomic; they exist in nature as a diatomic molecule with a single covalent bond.

Halogens have a great many characteristics including having very high electronegativity's. Halogens also have 7 valence electrons and are highly reactive with metal.

- they are reactive

- have to be stored in certain oils so they don't react

- are used in neon signs because of the colors produced by reactions
