Halogens are those sneaky elements in Group 17 of the periodic table, including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They're super reactive and often team up with metals to form salts. Think of them as the socialites of the element world!
They're in Group 17. Really reactive. That's about it.
As a chemist, I can tell you firsthand that halogens (Group 17) are essential for many reactions, especially in making salts and disinfectants. Life wouldn't be the same without good ol' chlorine in your pool!
