Which group in the periodic table is known as salt formers?

 The correct option is the last one: Halogen family.

 You can find the halogen or "salt formers" in the group 17 of the periodic table. These are:

 - Fluorine.
 -Chlorine.
 - Bromine.
 - Iodine.
 - Astatine.

 All of them are non-metallic elements and they have 7 electrons.

It won't lose or gain electrons if it's a covalent bond it shares the electrons with another atom or atoms. if it is an ionic bond it will lose the 3 electrons on the outer shell and become a positively charged ion.  credit goes to @sunshinebaby of answers.yahoo.com.
