Answer:

Halogens

Step-by-step explanation:

All the elements in Group 17 on the periodic table are classified as halogens. The members of this group are:

  • Fluorine
  • Chlorine
  • Bromine
  • Iodine
  • Astatine

They are also known as the group VIIA

Their general outer energy level structure is ns² np⁵

  • The first four members of the group are common. Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal and iodine is less reactive.
  • Due to lack of one electron to complete their outermost shell, they are good oxidizing agents and are univalent.
