Elements in the same family are related because of shared properties. For example, all the elements in the noble gas family do not react to anything and are colorless, nonflammable, odorless, and tasteless under normal circumstances.

∙ 15y agoThey share similar physical/chemical properties (an exception is family 1A: hydrogen does not fit)
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe elements in a family group are similar because they possess the same number of valance electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoAll of the elements in one group have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar properties.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe elements in a group have an equal number of valence electrons. So most of them have equal chemical properties. They make similar bonds with other elements.

∙ 9y agoElements in same group share same valence electrons. They also possess same chemical behaviour.

Mendeleev noticed that if he organized the elements by atomic weight certain patterns emerged. For instance elements in the same group (family) appeared to have the same?
These elements have similar chemical properties.
What are all the periodic table families called?
A family is a vertical column in the periodic table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics, whether they be physical or chemical. There are 18 family (or group) columns in the periodic table.
What are elements in a column called?
The elements in the 8 main columns of the Pperiodic Table are called Groups. Groups 1 and 2 are separated from Groups 3 to 8 by a block of elements called the Transition Series and the columns in this series have no specific names.
What is the different about the valence electrons for all elements in a group?
The valence electrons for elements in the same group stay the same, since the number of valence electrons corresponds to the group number.
Which elements are in the same group as oxygen?
all of them are really
Elements in the same group or family share important?
hjjj
What do elements in a family or group of main group element have in common?
Elements in the same group or family share the same number of valence electrons unless it is in groups 4-12 they vary and the have similar properties
What elements in the same group and family have?
in the same group( family) have the same electronic configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)
What elements occupy the same group in the periodic group?
elements that share the same colum
Why do elements in the same family share similar bonding properties?
Because the members of a group have the same number of valence electrons.
Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
What is a family of an element in the periodic table?
A family of elements (Or Chemical Family) is used to describe a group of related elements. For example, copper, silver, and gold all belong to the same chemical family. These 3 elements are often referred to as the coinage metals. These elements share several common properties.
Is it true that elements in the same group are in the sam family?
No, elements in the same column are in the same family.
What do family of elements have in common?
What they have in common is that the ones of the same family is that they all have a close amount of protons.
Atoms that have the same number of valence electrons in their outer shell?
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
Which two elements are in the same group or family?
According to Chemists, the elements of sodium and chlorine belong to the same atomic family as well as carbon and lead.
What is the difference3 between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
