All the three states of matter are represented by the halogens.
Halogens are found in nature as a monatomic species ex. Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, ect.
Group 7 on the periodic table is called Halogens.
Because they are highly reactive and always have hunger for electrons
halogens
It would be placed in group 17 of non-metals.
Halogens are found in nature as a monatomic species ex. Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, ect.
Halogens such as fluorine or chlorine are HIGHLY reactive; they always undergo chemical reactions with other elements to form compounds. It's almost impossible to find pure samples of any halogen gas.
Yes, the halogens did occur in nature as free elements.
It is because halogens are some of the most reactive elements in existence Every atom wants to have a full valence outer shell. Halogens are only missing one electron to have a full valence shell. So either they are diatomic halogens such as chlorine which never is singular it is either Cl2 or mixed with other elements.
not found free in nature they exist as separate diatomic molecules they produce salts known as halides
minerals are only be found in nature?
Absolutely not. The vast majority are found in a combined state in nature. Iron is not found as metal but always as an ore of mixed oxides etc. The halogens and all group 1,2,3 metals are always found combined etc.
Halogens have highreactivity.
There are five halogens found. All of halogens are non metals. Similar thing for all of them is they are non metals.
halogens are in group 17 and found on the far right corner of the periodic table to the left of the noble gases
Alkali Metals, Alkaline-Earth Metals, and halogens are never found in nature uncombined.
Oxygen does not react more slowly than all of the halogens, just some of them. Plus, the rate of a reaction depends on its nature, not just whether oxygen or a halogen reacts. when the halogens do react faster, this is because they only need one electron to have a stable configuration, whereas oxygen needs two.
