The Halogens are non-metallic elements found in Group 17 of the |
|
Periodic Table. All Halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, |
|
giving them an oxidation number of -1. The members of the Halogen |
|
family are highly reactive, toxic to humans, and go from gas to |
|
liquid to solid at room temperature as you descend the group. The |
|
word "halogen" means "salt former" or "salt maker". When Halogens |
|
react with metals, they produce a wide range of salts. Halogens also |
|
have a high electronegativity and electron affinity. |
