Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the atomic numbers of the elements: element 17 is chlorine (Cl) and element 9 is fluorine (F).
Recall the periodic table groups: Group 17 is known as the halogens, which are nonmetals with similar chemical properties.
Check the group placement of Cl and F: both chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F) are located in Group 17 of the periodic table.
Understand the properties of halogens: elements in Group 17 are reactive nonmetals, not alkali metals, noble gases, or transition metals.
Conclude that both Cl and F are halogens in Group 17, sharing similar chemical characteristics.
