Please help explain and don't answer if you don't know. thank you why are halogens sometimes called group 7 but its in group 17?

same as noble gases why are they sometimes called group 8 when they are in group 18?

The group 18 elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). These elements are non-reactive and are called noble gases as they have their outermost orbit complete. Due to stable electronic configuration they hardly react with other elements.The name comes from the fact that these elements are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds.The group 18 elements are called noble or inert gases. As the name suggests these are inert because chemically they are very less reactive or not at all reactive.The full valence electron shells of these atoms make the noble gases extremely stable.

they vary. it used to be meat, grain, bread, candy, beverages, donuts, and fruits/vegetables. now they added exercise in.
