1. choose the best answer.

which group do halogens react with the most?
group 2 because it consists of cations
group 18 because that is the group next to the halogens
group 16 because that group is next to the halogens and consists of anions
group 1 because they have one valence electron that the halogens need to be stable

Explanation:

• For question 5: The term "halogen" is derived from Greek words meaning "salt former". Halogens react with metals to form salts.
• For question 6: Halogens need one more electron to complete their valence shell. Group 1 elements have one valence electron. They can easily lose this electron and react with halogens (which gain the electron) to form ionic compounds.

Answer:

1. salt former
2. group 1 because they have one valence electron that the halogens need to be stable
