Very reactive nonmetals are called halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens readily form compounds with metals and other nonmetals due to their high electronegativity and tendency to gain electrons. They are found in Group 17 of the Periodic Table.
