Halogens are very reactive both physically & chemically than that of inert gases ,as halogens have valency 1.


What is the valency for iodine?

Iodine's atomic number is 53. That puts it in the halogen group. All halogens have 7 valence electrons.

what element has 7 valency electrons?

Halogens have 7 valence electrons. They can be found on the second column from your right on the periodic table


Oxidation number astatine?

Astatine has a valency of 1, because it is in group 7 and is part of the halogens. They say the group number is the number of valence, but the valency can't be 7. So they do 8 (the number of total outer shells allowed) - the group number if it's above 4. 8 - 7 = 1. And all the other halogens, in group 7 like fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine have a valence of 1. All in all, Astatine has a valency of 1.


Why do elements in th alkali metals group often form iconic bonds with the halogen group?

Alkali metals have one electron in their valency shell whereas halogens have seven. By losing al electron to a halogen, both ions get a full set of electrons in their valency shell.
