Nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens are often referred to as foreign elements because they do not belong to the main group of elements typically found in biological systems or common geological processes. They can be present in trace amounts but are not essential for the basic biochemical functions of most organisms. Their presence can indicate environmental contamination or unusual geochemical conditions, thus being termed "foreign" in that context.

Is sulphur a halogen?
No, hydrogen is not a halogen. the 17th column on the periodic table is called halogen column. both halogens and hydrogen are diatomic elements, but the difference is that halogens have ionic charge of minus 1. But, hydrogen can have either ion charge of plus 1 or minus 1. hope that helps
