Metals and halogens bonded together usually make a salt. For example, sodium (an alkali metal) and chlorine (a halogen) makes sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. But potassium bromide, calcium fluoride, even cobalt(II) iodide are technically salts as well. And metals with polyatomic ions can also be considered salts, like magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), commonly called epsom salt.

How do halogens react with air?

Halogens react with air to form metal halides. For example, chlorine will react with iron to form iron(III) chloride. Halogens are highly reactive and will readily form compounds with many elements in the air.


What does samarium react with?

Samarium can react with oxygen, water, and acids to form various compounds. It can also react with halogens such as chlorine and bromine to form halides.


Which group of p block elements react to form halides?

Group 17 elements, also known as the halogens, are the p block elements that react to form halides. They readily react with other elements to form salts called halides, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI).


Halogens combine with most metals to form salts?

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.

What does boron react to?

in your question boron reacts to moron. boron cannot react by itself. it needs to react with another chemical.


Are Halogens An alkaline solution?

No, halogens are a group of non-metal elements that are part of the periodic table. They are not alkaline solutions; in fact, they tend to form acidic solutions when they react with water.


Do the halogens react with the alkali metals why or why not?

The electron configuration is why they react. The Alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell and to complete their outer shell need 7 more electrons. They can give, take or share electrons with other atoms. This is when the Halogens come in handy. The Halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, and need one more to complete the outer shell. These can react very easily because they have both the perfect amounts to fill their outer shells and become compounds. Other atoms with other amounts to become atoms not ions needs another element to react with. Hope this helps, Matt.
