They form acidic oxides
They impart no characteristic colour to the flame
Generally they form covalent compounds. Halogens form salts with alkali metals
They have high ionization potentials.
They have very large electron gain enthalpies.
They are solids/liquids/gases at room temperature (Br is liquid)
