[Are nonmetals and occur in combined form in nature, mainly as metal halides.
-Are found in the rocks of Earth's crust and dissolved in sea water .
-Range from fluorine, the 13th most abundant element, to astatine, which is one of the rarest.
-Exist at room temperature as a gas (F2 and Cl2), a liquid (Br2), and a solid (I2 and At)
-Have seven valence electrons.
-Tend to gain one electron to form a halide, X- ion, but also share electrons and have positive oxidation states.
-Are reactive, with fluorine being the most reactive of all nonmetals
