Best Answer

The number of electrons in the valence shell of a halogen is 7. What is probably the most significant feature of halogens is that they all are one electron short of the number of electrons required to fill their valence shells, eight. That means they will have similar chemical properties, i.e., they all are on the lookout to borrow one electron.
