elements in the same column are in the same group or family. the rows in the Periodic Table are called periods
No, on the periodic table of elements a family is a group of elements that are in the same row.Answered by Faustin Obedi
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
In the Periodic Table Of Elements, elements are not necessarily similar under the same period. But, they are similar under the same group. they only have one thing in particular they have the same amounts of shells for the atoms
Elements have more similar properties when they are found in the same column. Elements in the same column, also known as group or family, have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same row, also known as period, have different properties because they have different electron configurations.
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
Elements with same properties are found in same group.They are also called families.
In the periodic table, elements in the same family/group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, giving them similar reactivity. Elements in the same period/row have the same number of electron shells but different properties due to varying numbers of valence electrons. Transition metals are located in the d-block and have varying oxidation states and reactivity.
Elements in same period have same shell. The electron enters outermost shell.
Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) are two elements in the same period (period 3).
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
The elements in the same vertical column have certain similar chemical properties hence they work as a family. Eg- Halogen family
No, elements in the same column are in the same family.
