The halogens are all elements that are found in group 17 of the periodic table. The halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. All of these elements are considered to be reactive nonmetals. Atoms of an element react with other atoms based on the number of electrons found in their outer orbit.
