They are dangerous because in their uncombined forms they are highly reactive.

Are the elements in the compound salt dangerous?
The elements which make up table salt, sodium and chlorine, are dangerous in their elemental forms. However, their ions (which are present in table salt) are much less harmful.
What elements presents in water?
Chlorine, a gaseous halogen has atomic number 17 and belongs in group 17, period 3 and the p-block of the Periodic Table. Needing only one electron to fill its outer electron shell, chlorine readily forms compounds with most other elements. Because it is so reactive, chlorine does not occur in a pure state in nature, which is fortunate, as it is poisonous.
What elements forms anions and why 1Silver 2Strontium 3Tin 4Iodine?
iodine forms iodide anion
Are acids dangerous in concentrated forms?
Many acids are dangerous in concentrated form because they are corrosive. Some acids can also be dangerous in dilute form.
Why is chlorine and sodium dangerous?
Sodium is dangerous because it is an Alkali metal which is HIGHLY reactive with water. Chlorine is dangerous because it forms a strong acid with water.
Why is halogen elements so dangerous in their uncombined forms?
Yes they are - they are all toxic and corrosive.
Are the elements in the compound salt dangerous?
The elements which make up table salt, sodium and chlorine, are dangerous in their elemental forms. However, their ions (which are present in table salt) are much less harmful.
What are comparative forms of dangerous?
more dangerous
What kind of bond does a halogen and an alkaline earth metal make?
alkaline earth metal forms a +2 cation and halogen forms a -1 anion alkaline earth metal is a metal and halogens are non metals therefore the bond between them is ionic
What element in the 3rd period forms minus 1 ion?
Chlorine, the halogen in period 3.
Is it true when elements chemically combined they form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elements?
Well, let's see . . . -- Sodium is a poisonous, corrosive metal, that's a waxy solid at room temperature. -- Chlorine is a poisonous halogen that's a gas at room temperature. When sodium and chlorine chemically combine, they form sodium chloride, which is table salt. -- Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, and forms an explosive mixture with air. -- Oxygen is a gas at room temperature, we breathe it, and many thousands of other substances will burn in it. When hydrogen and oxygen chemically combine, they form dihydrogen oxide, which is water. Nope. Don't think so.
Are Forms of Energy Made of Elements?
No.
What are some dangerous forms of static electricity?
Lightning is a dangerous form of static electricity.
What are forms in a database?
Forms are html elements or if you are doing desktop based applications then some in-built elements of the desktop programming language. Database store form data but have nothing to do with forms

What is the bond If atom X forms a diatomic molecule with itself?
Diatomic bonds are covalent bonds between two of the same atoms. These atoms are the ones that end with -genElements that form diatomic molecules:HydrogenOxygenFlourine*Chlorine*Bromine*Iodine*Astatine**note that these elements are in the halogen group
What forms new elements?
radioactive decay
