halogen (plural halogens)

1. (chemistry) Any element of group 17, i.e. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine and tennessine.
2. A light fixture in which the filament is surrounded by an atmosphere of a halogen gas.

When the term was coined, all known group 17 elements formed salts on reaction with a metal. This may not be true for the recently discovered superheavy element tennessine, though experiments cannot yet be carried out because of its short lifetime. Chemists usually include tennessine as a halogen to extend the term to all of group 17, though those specialising in the chemistry of superheavy elements may exclude it.
