Are halogens the basis for all fossil fuels?
No. The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Does halogens have high or low reactivity?
Halogens have highreactivity.
What halogen is most likely to react?
The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group, which means Fluorine is the most reactive halogens as it is the most electronegative elements among the halogens, and also the Periodic Table.
What is the correct list of elemental families in order going from left to right?
Alkali metals, transition metals, halogens or Transition metals, halogens, noble gases or Alkali earth metals, halogens, noble gases
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.
What is unique about the halogens on the periodic table?
Halogens are the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.
The most reactive group of nonmetals is the?
Group 17 (known as Halogens)
Elements in Group 17 are all called?
Halogens Apex ;)
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.
What is the pH halogens?
Halogens as molecules haven't a pH.
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
Most reactive group of nonmetals?
The Halogens. Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine, with Fluorine being the most reactive.
What is another name for the group 17 elements?
Another name for Group 17 (VIIA) Elements is Halogens.
