Question

2. Which one of the following statements is true about halogens?

Answer 1

Answer:

They're never found as individual elements in nature because they are so reactive.

Explanation:

Halogens are a highly reactive group of elements. They are usually found combined in nature.

• Because each of the elements has seven electrons in the outer shells of their atoms the elements are all univalent and also acceptors of electrons.
• They are all non-metals and oxidizing agents.
• This makes the elements in this group highly reactive and combine readily with other species in nature.
