Because it doesn't form (= genes) salts (= halo) with metals, like chlorine and bromine etc. can do.

Why is hydrogen classified as a halogen?

Hydrogen is not classified as a halogen. Halogens are a group of elements on the periodic table that includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Hydrogen is a nonmetal element that belongs to a different group on the periodic table.


Deffrence between halogen acid and hydrogen halide?

Halogen acids typically refer to binary acids containing a halogen atom and hydrogen, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) or hydrofluoric acid (HF). Hydrogen halides specifically refer to covalent compounds consisting of hydrogen and a halogen element, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl) or hydrogen fluoride (HF). Essentially, all hydrogen halides are halogen acids but not all halogen acids are hydrogen halides.


The element fluoride is classified as a?

halogen


What type of molecule is formed when a halogen combines with hydrogen?

When a halogen combines with hydrogen, a hydrogen halide molecule is formed. These molecules, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), consist of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a halogen atom. Hydrogen halides are typically gaseous at room temperature and can dissolve in water to form acidic solutions.


Is iodine a halide?

Yes, iodine is a halogen element and therefore classified as a halide.


The element fluorine is classified in the periodic table as?

halogenhalogen in group VII

What is the difference and similarities of hydrogen in group 1 and 17?

Hydrogen is a unique elemnt, it sadd an electron to form the hydride anion in which case it behaves like a halogen. It can lose an electron - get a naked proton, which rapidly attaches to anything in the vicinity, hence formation of acids in aqueous solution when say hydrogen chloride dissolves in water. It also forms single covalent bonds as in hydrogen chloride and methane and many other compounds. So similar to group1, in electron loss but forms covalent bonds group 1 do not in general. Gains an electron like a halogen but these hydrides are reactive and decompose in water.


What do halogen atoms attach to to create alkyl halides?

An alkane. Hence the name alkyl. An alkane is a chain of carbon atoms bonded to each other with single bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling the remainder of the bonds. One hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen to form an alkyl halide.


What are the example of single bonds?

F-F Cl-Cl or any other halogen-halogen ;halogen- alkaline metal Na-Cl


What are halogen derivative of alkane?

Well, honey, a halogen derivative of an alkane is simply an alkyl halide. It's when you replace one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane with a halogen atom like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. So, if you take good ol' methane and swap out a hydrogen for a chlorine, you've got yourself a halogen derivative of an alkane. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.


A covalent compound formed between an element in period 2 and a halogen?

An example of a covalent compound formed between an element in period 2 and a halogen is hydrogen fluoride (HF). This compound is formed by the sharing of electrons between the hydrogen atom (period 1) and the fluorine atom (halogen).
