The halogens are is group VII (17), and thus they all have 7 valence electrons. These will be located in different energy levels for the different halogens, but since they are all also p-block elements, they will all have ns^2 np^5 electron configurations, where n is the period number. Examples: Cl will be [Ne] 3s^2 3p^5 and Br will be [Ar] [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5 (note the inclusion of the d-block electrons for Br).

The element iodine is a halogen True or false?

No,. The halogens will gain 1 electron when they react if electrons are exchanged.


What element is most similar to astatine?

Iodine is the element most similar to astatine. Both elements are in the halogen group on the periodic table, sharing similar chemical properties due to their valence electron configuration. Astatine is a rare and highly radioactive element, making it difficult to study in detail.


The element bromine is not a halogen?

No, Bromine is a Halogen


What element has less than one halogen existing on the earth?

Any element, other than a halogen is - by definition - not a halogen and so it does not have a halogen and that is less than one halogen.


How many outer shell electron does an atom of an element belonging to the halogen family have?

An atom of an element belonging to the halogen family typically has 7 outer shell electrons. Halogens are in group 17 of the periodic table, which means they have 7 valence electrons.

What element has a electron of 85?

The element with the atomic number 85 is Astatine (At). Astatine is a Radioactive Halogen in Group 17(7) of the Periodic Table. Astatine has 85 electrons in 6 shells with 7 electrons in the outer shell. Astatine is the third radioactive element on the Periodic Table.


The halogen element that has the most attraction for the hydrogen electron is?

Fluorine has the most attraction for the hydrogen electron among halogen elements because it has the highest electronegativity value. This means that fluorine has a greater ability to attract and hold onto electrons compared to other halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine.


Why are the elements in the halogen family very reactive?

The elements in the halogen family are in group 7 and thus have 7 valence electrons. They are very reactive because the want an additional electron to complete the octet. They can get this additional electron by reacting with another element willing to donate that electron. A perfect example is an element from group 1 or 2 (alkali or alkali earth) which wants to donate an electron.
