2) Similar chemical characteristics 4) similar number of protons

12. Halogens in their elemental state exist as
1) Monatomic molecule 2) Diatomic molecule 3) Polyatomic ions 4) Triatomic ions

13. Which is true of all Group 17 halogens?
1) They all have seven valence electrons, and tend to lose 1 electron easily
2) They all have seven valence electrons, and tend to lose 2 electrons easily
3) They all have seven valence electrons, and tend to gain 1 electron easily
4) They all have seven valence electrons, and tend to gain 2 electrons easily

14. The general formula of a halide salt formed between a halogen Y and an alkali element X would be
