An element must have full valence shell in its neutral state, thus having 2, 10, 18, 36, 54, 86, or 118 protons. This places it into the 8A group which are the halogens.

How many electrons do all halogen family elements need to gain in order to attain a noble gas configuration?

All halogen family elements need to gain 1 electron to attain a noble gas configuration. This is because noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which is the most stable configuration in terms of electron arrangement.

How many atoms are halogen molecules made of?

Halogen molecules, such as chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2), are composed of two atoms each. This is because halogens belong to Group 17 of the periodic table, which means they have 7 valence electrons and need to gain one more electron to reach a stable octet configuration. Two atoms of a halogen molecule share electrons to achieve this stable configuration.
