Question

Why does the chemical reaction between group 1 and group 7 elements readily happen?

Answer 1

Answer:

They have high ionization energies and form the most electronegative group of elements. Their electron configuration, ns2np5, allows them to easily react with Group 1 and 2 metals; each halogen tends to pick up one electron, and the Group 1 and Group 2 elements each tend to lose one or two electrons, respectively.
