What are elements in group 17 called?
halogens
Elements in group 17 are known as salt formers they are called?
Usually halogens are called as salt producers,their electronegativity is high compared to other elements.They easily combine with electropositive metals and result in formation of salts.
Elements in Group 17 are all called?
Halogens Apex ;)
Halogens combine with most metals to form salts?

Why group VIIA elements are called haolgens?

Why group 7 is called halogens?
halogen means salt forming and they form salts with the grout 1 elements
Why elements of 7a group are called halogens?
Translated to greek, "Halogens" mean "salt former". Its called that because many of the halogen compounds are salts. (fluorite (CaF2) and cryolite (Na3AlF6) or a more common one - NaCl - sodium chloride. Hope this helps.
