<span>The state of the helium in its natural form is gaseous and is a chemical element of colorless aspect and belongs to the group of noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. The chemical symbol of helium is He. For the following we focus on those elements and relate it with similar chemical properties. Then we find that; Neon, Hydrogen, Boron and Carbon are related to helium, either by proximity in their atomic number or period or by their group.</span>
Yes! You're correct! Hope this helps! :D

<u>Halogens are reactive because:</u>
They have high electronegativity and also high nuclear charge. So, they are reactive and also gain an electron when they react with other elements.
Since they are very reactive, halogens are very harmful to living organisms. Some of the halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine. These are mostly non metals. Fluorine is one of the most reactive gas and also very toxic gas. When Fluorine reacts with glass along with small amounts of water, it forms silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). Hence fluorine should be handled with substances like the inert organofluorine compound Teflon.
