Halogens are highly reactive, and don't lose their electrons easily. Halogens are all in group 17 of the Periodic Table, meaning they all have 17 valence electrons.

Is group 6A the halogens family?

Yes, group 6A in the periodic table is not the halogens family, but rather the group consists of chalcogens such as oxygen and sulfur. The halogens family is group 7A, which includes elements like fluorine and chlorine.


Which metals are as reactive as alkali metals?

Halogens: When reacting with halogens, these metals create metal halides. Halide refers to a compound that is one part halogen. These reactions would look similar to

What element does actinium bond with?

Actinium typically bonds with elements like oxygen, sulfur, and halogens such as fluorine and chlorine to form various chemical compounds.


What name given to group 7 on the periodic table?

Group 7 on the periodic table is called the halogens. This group includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form salts with metals.

Where and how do halogens occur naturally?

Halogens occur naturally in various minerals and salts, as well as in seawater. These elements are most commonly found in combination with metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Halogens are highly reactive and will readily form compounds with other elements in the environment.


Why are halogens more soluble in non - polar solvents like cyclohexane?

Halogens are more soluble in non-polar solvents like cyclohexane because halogens are non-polar molecules themselves. Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar substances through London dispersion forces or van der Waals forces, which are the predominant intermolecular interactions between halogens and the non-polar solvent molecules. This leads to increased solubility of halogens in non-polar solvents.


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.
