Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
Group 7
- 3 things to know
- Chemistry Paper 1
Overview
The halogens as non-metals with seven outer electrons that exist as pairs of atoms, ionic metal halides and covalent compounds with non-metals, rising melting and boiling points and falling reactivity down the group, displacement reactions, and why fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are the elements of Group 7 known as?
Model answer
They are known as the halogens.
- 2
How many electrons do halogen atoms have in their outer shell?
Model answer
Seven.
- 3
Why do the halogens have similar reactions?
Model answer
Because all of their atoms have seven outer electrons.
- 4
Are the halogens metals or non-metals?
Model answer
They are non-metals.
- 5
How do the halogens exist as elements?
Model answer
They exist as molecules made of pairs of atoms, such as Cl₂.
- 6
What type of compound is formed when chlorine reacts with a metal?
Model answer
An ionic compound, a metal chloride containing Cl⁻ ions.
