they exist in all 3 states of matter at room temp.

they all tend to form salts

halogens are diatomic, meaning that they exist as molecules with two atoms

thats all I got

They're colored.

Their names typically end in "-ine."

They're nonmetals.

Which element shares the most characteristics with fluorine?

Chlorine shares the most characteristics with fluorine as they both belong to the same group on the periodic table (Group 17, also known as the halogens). They both have similar chemical properties such as being highly reactive and forming compounds easily.


Are halogens the basis for all fossil fuels?

No, halogens are not the basis for all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels primarily consist of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine, do not play a significant role in the formation of fossil fuels.


Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?

The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.


Does halogens have high or low reactivity?

Halogens have high reactivity because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This reactivity decreases as you move down the group from fluorine to iodine.


What are the elements fluorine chlorine bromine and iodine called?

These elements are typically called halogens, and they are found in Group 17 of the periodic table.

What is the characteristics about the outer electron shells of halogens?

The outer electron shells of halogens have seven electrons, making them one electron short of a full outer shell. This makes halogens highly reactive as they tend to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Halogens are located in Group 17 of the periodic table.


What are the characteristics non metal?

Some characteristics of non-metals are that they are poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and have high electronegativities. On the Periodic Table, examples of non-metals are nitrogen, carbon, the halogens, and sulfur.


What are halogens and where are they located?

Halogens are in Group 7


Why are halogens known as salts?

Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.


Halogens are radioactive or not?

No, halogens are reactive however and can be dangerous.


Are halogens reactive?

Yes, halogens are extremely reactive.


How are halogens like metals?

Halogens are not like metals. Halogens are elements missing one electron for full valency.


Which non-metals are chemically most reactive?

halogens


What is another name for the group 17 elements?

Another name for Group 17 (VIIA) Elements is Halogens.


Is boron in the halogens group?

No, boron is not in the halogens group. It is located in Group 13 of the periodic table. The halogens are in Group 17.
