Why group 17 elements form Uninegative Anions ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Group 17 elements have 7 valence electrons, one electron less than the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost-shell. Therefore, it is easier for these elements to gain an electron and form uninegative anions.
