<span>Groups are vertical, numbered 1 through 18, and have similar properties, so answer D. Most of the properties of groups are defined by the outermost electron in the shells of the elements. Horizontal delineations in the Periodic Table are known as periods.</span>
Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
