are ionic compounds formed from positive and negative ions electrostatically attracted to each other.

are reactive non-metallic elements in Group 7 of the periodic table which react with metals to form salts.

are the name of salts formed from halogens, e.g sodium chloride (NaCl).

element consists of two atoms of the same type, chemically bonded together.
