When the current version of the Periodic Table was created it just worked out that way because scientists group elements that shared characteristics and have an increasing number of protons in the nucleus.

What is the halogen in period 5 of the periodic table?

Iodine. If you mean the group of halogens, here's what Wikipedia writes about it: The halogens or halogen elements (/ˈhælədʒɨn/) are a group in the periodic table consisting of five chemically related elements, fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The artificially created element 117 (ununseptium) may also be a halogen. In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, this group is known as group 17. The group of halogens is the only periodic table group that contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at standard temperature and pressure. All of the halogens form acids when bonded to hydrogen. Most halogens are typically produced from minerals of salts. The middle halogens, that is, chlorine, bromine and iodine, are often used as disinfectants. The halogens are also all toxic.
