  • Very reactive
  • Form 1- ions
  • Reactivity decreases down the group; outer shell is further from positive nucleus, forces of attraction get less.
  • Form ionic bonds with metals and covalent bonds with non metals.

States at room temp:

  • Flourine - yellow gas
  • Chlorine - green gas
  • Bromine - dark red liquid (forms red/brown vapour)
  • Iodine - dark grey solid (purple vapour)
