Concept:Halogens react with metals to form ionic compounds called salts.
Explanation:The word "halogen" comes from Greek, meaning "salt former."
When a metal reacts with a halogen, the metal loses electrons and the halogen gains electrons.
This electron transfer forms an ionic compound, which is a salt.
For example, sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride,
NaCl.
Therefore, halogens generally produce salts with metals.
Answer:D. salts
