The halogens are all elements that are found in group 17 of the periodic table. The halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. All of these elements are considered to be reactive nonmetals. ... Because these atoms are so close to having a full set of eight valence electrons, they're very reactive.

The type of reaction depends on the specific properties of the nonmetal. ... In these reactions, a nonmetal like nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, phosphorus, bromine, or sulfur will attack a metal and steal its electrons. The nonmetal, with its surplus of electrons, is now a 'negatively' charged ion.
