a type of chemical element found in Group 17 of the periodic table, known for being highly reactive and commonly used in disinfectants and lights
ハロゲン
each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, leading to variation in atomic mass
同位体
any of the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, characterized by their inert nature and stable electron configurations
