F and I...

because they are of the same groups VIIA, meaning they have similar characteristics...

just like when you have the noble gasses, they are aligned so you know that they have similar properties (not responsive to high pressures)

F and I show more similarities because they have the same number of electrons (7) in their outer level.
Te has 6.

Fluorine and iodine have the same number of electrons in their outer shell and they are in the same group. The only similarity between tellurium and iodine is atomic size
