No, zinc is not a halogen. Zinc is a transition metal, specifically classified as a d-block element in the Periodic Table, while halogens are a group of nonmetals found in Group 17 (or VIIA), including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Zinc typically forms compounds with halogens, such as zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), but it does not belong to the halogen group itself.
