Molecules of a halogen e.g. Cl2 are attracted together the weak Van Der Waals forces. these forces can be easily broken with a very small amount of heat, meaning that these halogens have very low boiling points, this allows the halogen to exist as a gas naturally due to its low boiling point.
Halogens are highly reactive due to their tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, while noble gases are already stable and do not readily react with other elements. Halogens are typically electronegative, whereas noble gases have very low electronegativity. This difference in reactivity and electron affinity leads to halogens forming compounds easily, while noble gases tend to exist as isolated atoms.
No. halogens are not inert gases. Halogens are group 17 elements. Inert gases or noble gases are the group 18 elements Helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) are the six inert gases.
Halogens are extremely reactive, noble gases are very unreactive. All noble gases are gases; only F and Cl are gases.
halogens and noble
they have similar properties
Halogens easily convert to gases because they are so electronegative. They are easily able to pull electrons from other molecules to pair with the lone p-orbital electron. ---also, this electronegativity causes them to be strong acids when protonated (eg-HCl)

Halogens are very reactive both physically & chemically than that of inert gases ,as halogens have valency 1.

noble gases really are just that: noble. they dont react to things easily. halogens on the other hand, do react extremely easily. that is one of the main differences between the two.
Halogens are extremely reactive, noble gases are very unreactive. All noble gases are gases; only F and Cl are gases.
halogens and noble
Halogens and noble gases are both elements found in group 18 of the periodic table. They are both inert gases with low reactivity. However, halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form compounds, while noble gases are known for their stable and unreactive nature.
I do not know so don't ask this question again
they have similar properties
Halogens
The halogens that are gases at room temperature and pressure are fluorine and chlorine.
