(copper, astatine) (chlorine, iodine, vanadium)C. (copper, chlorine, iodine) (vanadium, astatine)D. (copper, astatine, vanadium) (chlorine, iodine)

Answer 1

1) Characteristics of the elements mentioned.

Chlorine, Iodine, and Astatine are nonmetals. They are in the 17th group the halogens. They're in the p-block
