Answer 2

Halogen molecules are represented by x2.

Halogen Molecules:

• In the 17th group of periodic table halogen molecules are present which are very reactive
• The halogens are very harmful to organisms because they have high electronegativity
• When the halogen reacts with hydrogen then it forms less reactive hydrogen halide
• This is obtained from minerals or salt and it is very toxic and dangerous
• They form homonuclear molecules because the intermolecular force of halogen is weak
