Family 17 of the Periodic Table is called the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals, and they have seven valence electrons, making them one electron short of a full outer shell.
Astatine is placed in group-17 in the Periodic Table. Its symbol is At.
A family on the periodic table is a group of elements that share similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations. Each family is represented by a column on the periodic table, such as the alkali metals in Group 1 or the halogens in Group 17.
Chlorine belongs to the family of halogens.It has electronegativity of 3.16.It has atomic number 17.
Fluorine (symbol F) is an element found in group 17 and period 2 on the periodic table
Yes, group 6A in the periodic table is not the halogens family, but rather the group consists of chalcogens such as oxygen and sulfur. The halogens family is group 7A, which includes elements like fluorine and chlorine.
