why do halogens tend to form diatomic molecules?

Answers

Answered by DrBob222
The halogens have seven (7) electrons in their outer shell and they are more stable with eight. So two atoms come together, share a pair of electrons, and each becomes a noble gas structure.
Answered by Damon
Because each halogen atom is missing only one electron to fill its outer shell. Therefore two of them like to get toegther and share an electron, thereby both forming stable full outer shells.
