The UV light initiated reaction of hydrocarbons with this group is commonly used to functionalize hydrocarbons, and the Finkelstein reaction exchanges these elements.
The UV light initiated reaction of hydrocarbons with this group is commonly used to functionalize hydrocarbons, and the Finkelstein reaction exchanges these elements. All elements in this group, except the radioactive one, are found diatomically in their pure state and are found in all three states of matter in standard conditions. One member of this group, found in Lugol's solution, is used to detect starches. Elements in this group react with metals to form salts, giving their name. For 10 points, name this group of highly reactive elements which includes astatine, iodine, and fluorine.
