What state of matter do halogens naturally occur in?

Halogens naturally occur in the gaseous state. Examples of halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.


What is the oxidation state of all halogens?

-1


When do halogens show 1 and -1 oxidation states?

When halogens bind to more electropositive elements (compared it itself), they show -1 oxidation state. When halogens bind to more electronegative elements (compared it itself), they show +1 oxidation state.


What are the oxidation states of halogens?

The oxidation states of halogens can range from -1 to +7. Fluorine typically has an oxidation state of -1, while the other halogens (chlorine, bromine, iodine) can have oxidation states from -1 to +7 depending on the compound and bonding.


Elements in Group 17 are all called?

Halogens Apex ;)


Why halogens are not found in free state?

Halogens are highly reactive elements that readily form compounds with other elements. Their high reactivity prevents them from existing in a free state in nature. Instead, halogens like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are commonly found in nature as part of compounds such as salts or minerals.


What are halogens and where are they located?

Halogens are in Group 7


Similar for all halogens?

All halogens are highly reactive non-metallic elements with similar chemical properties. They form diatomic molecules in their elemental state (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) and have a tendency to gain one electron to achieve a full valence shell, resulting in a -1 oxidation state in their compounds. They exhibit increasing molecular size and decreasing reactivity down the group.


Why are halogens known as salts?

Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.


Do halogens conduct electricity when molten?

Yes, halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine can conduct electricity when in a molten state because they are able to dissociate into ions which can carry electric charge. However, fluorine is an exception as it does not conduct electricity in any state.


Halogens are radioactive or not?

No, halogens are reactive however and can be dangerous.


Are halogens reactive?

Yes, halogens are extremely reactive.
