How do physical and chemical properties of the halogens compare with those of the noble gases?

Noble gases are not reactiveHalogens are very reactive.


Why are the halogen family and noble gases alike and different?

Well the halogen family is very reactive and the noble gasses are not reactive at all.


How do psychical and chemical properties of halogens compare with those of the inert gas?

At room temperature the lighter halogens, F, Cl are diatomic gases, Br is a liquid, I is a solid. All of the halogens are colored and toxic. The noble gases are all colorless odorless non chemically toxic monoatomic gases. (Radon is radioactive).


How do the physical and chemical properties of the halogens compare with those of the noble glasses?

Halogens are extremely reactive, noble gases are very unreactive. All noble gases are gases; only F and Cl are gases.


Is the group halogens in a periodic table reactive?

Very much so. The only group that isn't reactive is the Noble gases, however even some noble gases will react under the right conditions.


How does having an octet effect noble gases behavior in chemical reactions?

The full octet means the element is inert (non-reactive.)


Are helium and krypton similar or different in reactivities?

Pretty similar. They are both are noble gases, so they are both very non-reactive. Noble gases rarely form compounds.


Are the Noble Gases very reactive with other elements and form many compounds?

No. The noble gases are inreactive and don't form compounds with other elements. This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.
