Question

State the nature of compounds formed when group 17 elements combine with (i) metals.

Open in App

Solution

Group 17 elements are known as halogens and have 7 valence electrons. They are non-metals as they have a tendency to accept an electron.
When halogens combine with metals, metal halides are formed. Since metals donate their valence electrons to the halogens thus, the compounds formed are ionic in nature.
