Shouldn't the group be 7, not 17. Or is that just for the UK?

That's a good point. They are officially group 17, but are often referred to as group 7 if you don't include the transition metals I believe.

As I am still in school, I knew quite a few of the terms from sitting bored in lessons. Nice quiz overall but accept ionic bond or ionising?
