Solution
| Sr. No. | Group 17 | Group 18 |
| 1. | Elements of group 17 are called halogens. | Elements of group 18 are called inert gas elements or noble gases. |
| 2. | They have seven valence electrons. | They have eight valence electrons, except helium, which contains 2 electrons. |
| 3. | Their valency is 1. | Their valency is zero. |
| 4. | They form diatomic molecules with the general formula (X2). | They are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. |
