Identify whether each element is a halogen, a noble gas, or nonmetal only. Astatine (At): Nitrogen (N): Krypton (Kr): Chlorine (Cl): Sulfur (S):
A sample of iodine is easiest to ship as a powder because it is , making it easy to break into small pieces. Helium is less than the elements that make up the air we breathe, so a balloon filled with helium will float in air. Plastic is a compound of nonmetallic elements, so its properties make it a popular coating for electric wires to prevent the current from escaping.

Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict that xenon will be more reactive than iodine.” Is Lorenzo correct? If so, why? If not, explain his error.
Lorenzo is not correct. Nonmetals increase in reactivity from left to right because nonmetals on the right have more valence electrons. They need to gain fewer electrons to have a full outer shell. However, this trend only continues until group 17, because the noble gases already have a full outer shell. Therefore, their reactivity is the least of all the elements.
