In the 'older' versions of the Periodic table this group 7 was known as the halogens (F, Cl, Br, I, At )
But later one decided that this group of halogens should be numbered as 17 in stead of 7.
This was done because the so called 'transition' elements (ten elements in each of the periods 4 till 7) have been put in between the groups 2 and 'old' 3.
So the original question: "What are the group 7 elements known as?" now has the answer:
In group 7 are the elements : Mn (25), Tc (43) and Re (75) and Uns (107) nowadays.

What is the group of elements with 7 electrons?
A Group 7 element is one in the series of elements in group 7
(IUPAC style) in the periodic table, which consists of the
transition metals manganese (Mn), technetium (Tc), rhenium (Re),
and bohrium (Bh). All of these elements are classed in Group 7
because their valence shells hold seven electrons. Technetium has
no stable isotopes. Technetium and promethium are the only two such
elements before polonium, after which no known element has a stable
isotope.

Why do group one elements react with group 7 elements?
group 1 elements have to 'lose' one electron to fill their
outermost shell of electrons
group 7 elements have to 'gain' one electron to complete their
outermost shell of electrons

What are the elements in group 1 on the periodic table known as?
Group one elements are the alkali metals.
Asked in Elements and Compounds
Why are group1 and 7 found as compounds?
Group 1 elements have very low electronegativies and group 7
elements have very high electronegativities, so that both are
reactive with almost every other element, the group 1 elements by
donating electrons and the group 7 elements by accepting
electrons.
