What is a dangerously corrosive halogens?

Halogens are elements found in group 7 of the periodic table. They are very reactive as they have seven electrons on the outer shell and are only gaining one more to stabilise. This makes them very reactive and alkali. Fluorine is the most corrosive, found at the top of group seven and astatine, the least corrosive, though is still very corrosive. The lower down an element in group seven is, the less corrosive it is.


Can you overdose on iodine?

Yes, you can snort anything you want, we are just not responsible for your lack of fatigue or possible deathThat said, PLEASE do not snort iodine!!! It will mess you up! It won't get you stoned, it will just dissolve your tissues. Iodine is an halogen, like chlorine or bromine. They used mustard gas in World War I, and many people died from it. Chlorine is a caustic, corrosive gas. Bromine is similar, only a liquid. Iodine is similar, only a solid. Sometimes they will dissolve iodine in alcohol, because (at about 2.5-5% concentration) it makes a very good disinfectant.Seriously, DO NOT SNORT IODINE!!!!
