Halogen is the family of salt producing elements.
No, oxygen is not a halogen. Halogens are a group of elements that include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Oxygen belongs to a different group of elements called the chalcogens.
Chlorine belongs to the halogen family of elements.
Examples of inter-halogen compounds are chlorine trifluoride (ClF3), iodine pentafluoride (IF5), and bromine chloride (BrCl). These compounds are formed by the combination of different halogen elements, such as chlorine, fluorine, iodine, and bromine.
Group 7 elements are called halogens because they form salts when they react with metals, such as sodium. The name "halogen" comes from the Greek words for "salt-forming." The group includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
Ions of the halogen group are called halide ions; their compounds are called halides.
The term halogen originates from 18th century scientific French nomenclature based on adaptations of Greek roots: hals (sea) or halas (salt), and gen- (to generate) --- referring to elements which produce a salt in union with a metal.
