Halogens are group VII in the Periodic Table, which is F2, Cl2, Br2, I2. they exist as diatomic molecules. why? let's take F as the example. F have seven electrons in its outer shell (2 on top, 2 on the right side, 2 on the left side, and 1 on the bottom). the electron that is located at the bottom of the shell is unpaired. so, two F atoms shared their unpaired electron with each other to form a single covalent bond. this goes for Cl, Br, and I too.

Are all halogens diatomic molecules?
All molecules are nuetrally charged.....or else they wouldn't be molecules. Being a diatomic molecule has nothing to do with it.
What is A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the?
A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the halogen family. All halogens are considered as toxic.
Which diatomic molecules have single bonds?
The halogens and hydrogen
The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to what family?
Halogens
What property do halogens share?
They share many properties, but one is that they all have 7 valence electrons.
What family of elements most often exist as diatomic molecules?
The Halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) exist as diatomic molecules, as do hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Do halogens form diatomic molecules?
Yes, halogens form diatomic molecules.
A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase?
The Halogen family.
How do halogen molecules exist?
Halogens are considered to be diatomic molecules. They exist in gas (F2, Cl2), liquid (Br2) and solid phase (Iodine I2).
Are all halogens diatomic molecules?
All molecules are nuetrally charged.....or else they wouldn't be molecules. Being a diatomic molecule has nothing to do with it.
What are facts about halogens?
not found free in nature they exist as separate diatomic molecules they produce salts known as halides
What is A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the?
A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the halogen family. All halogens are considered as toxic.
Which diatomic molecules have single bonds?
The halogens and hydrogen
Are Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen and the Halogens diatomic molecules?
Yes
What are elements that form diatomic molecules are commonly found on this side of the periodic table?
Nitrogen, Oxgen and all the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine) exist as a diatomic molcules.
The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to what family?
Halogens
What molecules are molecules formed by two or more atoms of the same element that share electrons?
Diatomic molecules. Halogens in particular.
