Halogens are the name of a group of non-metal elements found on the Periodic Table, Group 7A (or 17). Halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. Halogen lamps usually contain an inert (Noble) gas and a small amount of bromine or iodine surrounding the filament. It is a family of "Salt Producing" elements.

halogenes/non metals
An ionic bond is formed by electron transfer between alkali metals and halogens.
Together with bromine and fluorine they belong to the 'halogenes', group 7 in the periodic table.
Halogens are found in nature as a monatomic species ex. Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, ect.
First of all, all halogens are non-metals. Secondly, the most reactive is fluorine, which reacts to nearly everything, hence it is rare. After fluorine comes chlorine, then bromine and iodine.
bromine <><><><><> Halogens are group 17 elements, like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine, and uus-117.

Valency determines the chemical properties of an atom by indicating how many unpaired valence electrons an atom has, allowing a chemist to determine how many and possibly what type of bonds the atom may form with other elements. For example, most elements with a "full valence shell" of 8 valence electrons (following the Octet Rule) will not react in solution because they cannot form bonds with other elements.
