Step 1
"Halogens usually form anions." - This statement is TRUE. Halogens have seven valence electrons and they tend to gain one more electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. When they gain an electron, they form an anion. Show more…

Nonmetals and Metalloids Write the letter of the correct answer on the line at the left. 1. ___ Which of the following is NOT a property of most nonmetals? A found on the right side of the periodic table B solids tend to be dull and brittle C excellent electric conductivity D many are gases at room temperature 2. ___ The only nonmetal in Group 14 is A carbon B oxygen C nitrogen D fluorine 3. ___ Two of the same atoms bonded together is called a(n) A isotope B diatomic molecule C binary atom D semiconductor 4. ___ The highly reactive nonmetals of Group 17 are called the A noble gases B metalloids C halogens D actinides If the statement is true, write true. If the statement is false, change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. 5. ____________________ Atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms. 6. ____________________ When two or more atoms bond by sharing electrons, they form a molecule. 7. ____________________ The elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals are called halogens. 8. ____________________ Helium has chemical properties so different from those of the other elements that it cannot be placed in any group. 9. ____________________ Substances that can carry electric current under some conditions but not under others are called semiconductors. 10. ____________________ The Group 15 element oxygen is used to make compounds known as fertilizers.
