| Because halogens are highly electronegative, their atoms normally retain negative charge in these compounds. |
| Common oxidants include the halogens, oxygen, ozone, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, nitric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid. |
| Graham was installing under-cupboard halogens to replace the over-bright fluorescent tube we inherited from the previous owners. |
| The lower pull-down menu lets you mark groups of elements, such as the halogens or the alkaline earth metals, on the plot. |
| For many syntheses, this means using such compounds as hydrocarbons and alcohols, plus inorganic acids, metals, halogens, or other compounds. |
| It combines easily with many non-metals, including nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and the halogens. |
