i read in my textbook that halogens cannot exist in elemental state in nature because of their high reactivity.
I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Last week in the lab we used a reagents which where labeled on their bottles as : Cl2, I2. When we write/say Cl2 or I2 don't we mean that they are in elemental state?
I'm also pretty sure that those ARE in elemental state. Also you used them in a lab, so they weren't found in nature. :wink:
