Milton Cooke · Answer 2

Similarities:

The halogens like noble gases are gaseous im nature. Example,

Chlorine, bromine are halogens and argon, xenon are noble gases.

Both are non-metals.

Differences: Halogens are very reactive because their octet needs only one electron tk complete. But, the nobles gases are quite stable and unreactive because the have complete octets.
