theyre all diatomic and have the same no. of outer shells
Similarity: they all need a one more electron for a full outer shell. Differences: I'm working on that!
Group 7 elements are known as "halogens".
There is a total of 17 elements in those groups.
Main group or Alkali metals
thats the answer
That is where chlorine belongs (it is a noble gas). Chlorine has properties similar to the elements around it, and it has 7 valance electrons like the rest of the elements in its group.
The more common name for group 7 elements is the halogens
All elements in group 7 have the same no. of electrons in their outermost shells... and this no. correspondes to the group no.
All elements in Group 7 have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell and this number corresponds to the group number.
Group VIIA elements are known as halogens and all have 7 valence electrons.
GROUPS have more in common than PERIODS. I don't know why, I just know the answer.From, Bryan Hollick
The name given to group 7 elements in the Periodic Table are halogens.
Copper, gold, and silver are the choices that represent a group of elements with common characteristics. All of these elements are metals.
Group 1 elements have very low electronegativies and group 7 elements have very high electronegativities, so that both are reactive with almost every other element, the group 1 elements by donating electrons and the group 7 elements by accepting electrons.
There are 7 valence electrons in elements of group-17. They are called halogens.
Group 7 elements are known as "halogens".
Group one elements are the most reactive with group 7 elements as it is the easiest way for the elements to complete their outer shell as the group one element gives its extra electron to the group 7 element and then the group 7 element has a full shell too.
Groups 6 and 7.
