Name and describe a characteristic of halogen elements in the periodic table. Please respond in 1–2 complete sentences using your best grammar.
Your Answer:
These Halogens are named Fluorine, chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine, and tennessine. They all have seven valence electrons, and this makes them highly reactive. They also make very poor conductors.
Name and describe a characteristic of nonmetal elements in the periodic table. Please respond in 1–2 complete sentences using your best grammar.
Your Answer:
The names of the nonmetals include carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, and selenium. Most of these nonmetals don’t conduct electricity. Some nonmetals are reactive, and some are gases.
