Characteristics of halogens

Answer 1

They're colored.

Their names typically end in "-ine."

They're nonmetals.

Answer 2

They are one electron away from being stable, are non-metals, and they are most reactive of the non-metals

Answer 3

The physical properties of the halogens are all over the place because of dispersion forces. The chemical properties of the halogens, however, are all very similar. They all have 7 valenece electrons, which makes it very easy for them to grab hold of one more to get to 8 and achieve noble gas configuration. So they're all very reactive. They're also diatomic; they exist in nature as a diatomic molecule with a single covalent bond.

Answer 4

Halogens are a group of highly reactive non-metal elements that include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They have seven electrons in their outer shell, making them highly electronegative and reactive. Halogens readily form salts by gaining one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. They exist in various physical states at room temperature, from gases (fluorine, chlorine) to a solid (iodine) and a liquid (bromine).

Answer 5

Halogens have a great many characteristics including having very high electronegativity's. Halogens also have 7 valence electrons and are highly reactive with metal.

Answer 6

- they are reactive

- have to be stored in certain oils so they don't react

- are used in neon signs because of the colors produced by reactions

Answer 7

They are very reactive

Answer 8

They are very reactive (Apex 2021)
