Solution

All in this group are characterized by the presence of 7e in an outer shell, and hence have the ability to gain an e to form negative ions w/ a completed octet of valence e.

All these elements share traits of being very reactive and in particular form substitution compounds w/ numerous organic compounds.

Although these elements also have other valences all have a 1 valence in common.
