Answer

(a) All elements in group VII A have same number of valence electrons (i.e., 7), hence they have similar chemical properties.

(b) Helium (He) has highest ionisation potential, as it has fully-filled electronic configuration due to which it requires maximum energy to remove an electron from its valence shell.

(c) The element is chlorine (Cl) with atomic number 17.
