Question

Halogen elements are those which are:
  1. monatomic and form X ions
  2. diatomic and form X ions
  3. diatomic and form X ions
  4. monoatomic and form X ions

A
monatomic and form X ions
B
monoatomic and form X ions
C
diatomic and form X ions
D
diatomic and form X ions
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Halogen atoms have 7 electrons in their valence shell. So, they require only one electron to complete its octet. Thus, halogens are present in a diatomic form in order to complete their octet by sharing of electrons. Also,
x+ex (stable for Halogens)
