Problem 158

Halogens are very reactive because (choose the correct answer): (a) They need to gain only one electron to satisfy the octet rule. (b) They have seven electrons in their valence shell, and the more electrons an atom has, the more reactive it is. (c) They are nonmetals, and all nonmetals are reactive. (d) They can easily lose their seven valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
