    Group 7 elements are known as halogens. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell, giving them similar chemical properties. Halogens increase in atomic radius and size down the group, with fluorine being the smallest and iodine being the largest. Their melting and boiling points also increase as the molecules become bigger, with fluorine existing as a gas and iodine existing as a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.

    Electron structure
    All halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
    This means that:

    fluorine
    2,7
     They have similar chemical
    chlorine properties.
    2,8,7  Atomic radius/size Increases
