Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that the periodic table is divided into groups (columns) that share similar chemical properties.
Identify the group names and their general characteristics: Alkali metals (Group 1), Noble gases (Group 18), Transition metals (Groups 3-12), and Halogens (Group 17).
Locate fluorine (F) on the periodic table; it is found in Group 17, which is known as the Halogens.
Understand that Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals and include elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Conclude that since fluorine is in Group 17, it belongs to the Halogens group.
