The highly reactive elements in group 7A which are known for forming salts are the?
Halogens
What name is given to all the elements in group 17?
The elements in group 17 are known by the name halogens. They are non-metal elements and are at times referred to as salts.
What are facts about halogens?
not found free in nature they exist as separate diatomic molecules they produce salts known as halides
Where and how do halogens occur naturally?
Halogens occurs naturally as salts; an exception is HCl from volcanoes.
What are compounds containing halogens called?
salts
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
What allows halogens to form salts?
Halogens are highly reactive chemical elements.
What do sodium and sodium chloride have in common?
Both are salts, contain sodium and contain halogens (iodine and chlorine are halogens).
Elements in group 17 are known as salt formers they are called?
Usually halogens are called as salt producers,their electronegativity is high compared to other elements.They easily combine with electropositive metals and result in formation of salts.
What do sodium iodide and sodium chloride have in common?
Both are salts, contain sodium and contain halogens (iodine and chlorine are halogens).
Why group VIIA elements are called haolgens?
halogens mean salt-former halogens form inorganic salts easily
What are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals?
Halogens are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals.
