Your correct!

Yes

To determine which elements belong to the halogen family, we can refer to the periodic table. The halogens are located in group 17 (Group VIIA) of the periodic table.

Now, let's check each option:

A) Neon (Ne) does not belong to the halogen family. Neon is a noble gas and is found in group 18 (Group VIIIA) of the periodic table.

B) Nitrogen (N) also does not belong to the halogen family. Nitrogen is a nonmetal element but is found in group 15 (Group VA) of the periodic table.

C) Fluorine (F) is indeed a halogen. It is the first element in Group 17 and belongs to the halogen family.

D) Bromine (Br) is also a halogen. It is the third element in Group 17 and belongs to the halogen family.

Therefore, the correct answer is C and D (Fluorine and Bromine).
