Best Answer

Fluorine, chlorine bromine and iodine have seven electrons in their valence shells, and they all need one electron to have stabilized electron configuration. Therefore they are grouped in Group 17 (halogen group) of Periodic Table.

What elements are more similar to chlorine?

Fluorine , Bromine , Iodine are similar to chlorine. They are non-metals placed in group-17.


Name three nonmetals on the periodic table?

Anything to the right of the step-like line.


What is an element in the periodic table that would have the same electron dot diagram as chlorine?

Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, and Astatine. You can find this out just from looking at a periodic table. (Electrons are what create the properties of atoms). Because of electrons and how they are placed around an atom all of the elements in the same group on the periodic table (vertical column) share the same properties. If you want to learn more as to why this is the case look up more about electrons.


What are the non metals in halogens?

All halogens are nonmetals, with the possible exception of astatine, which has no stable isotopes (its MOST stable isotope has a half-life of about 8 hours) and has never been observed in bulk. Astatine may be a semiconductor or even metallic in character; we just don't really know.


What element occurs naturally as a diatomic solid?

Hydrogen (H2) Nitrogen (N2) Oxygen (O2) Fluorine (F2) Chlorine (Cl2) Bromine (Br2) Iodine (I2) (Astatine [At] is placed in the halogen group but is a very short lived element. It is not known if it is diatomic so it's usually not considered)


What properties do halogens have?

Halogens have many properties but the most important is the high reactivity and high electonegativity.let example of flourine it is so much high reactive that even if it react in dark still it will creat an explosion.


Do fluorine and chlorine have the same chemical properties?

No. No two elements have the same chemical properties. However, the chemical properties of fluorine and chlorine are similar. Since they are similar, they are placed in the same group, group 17, on the periodic table.


What two element are out of order in periodic table?

It might be Iodine and Tellurium because Tellurium has a larger atomic weight than Iodine but Iodine has more similar properties with Fluorine and Chlorine so Mendeleev placed them that way to make more sense but at that point the elements were aranged in order of atomic mass. Now the periodic table is in order of it's atomic number rather than it's atomic mass so it all fits nicely.
