No, The group number tells you the number of valence electrons, in general. The number of shells is given by the period.

What are elements of a group that has the same number of shells?
The elements in a group do not have the same number of shells, however, the elements in a horizontal row do have the same number of shells.
What part on periodic table shows number of shells of nucleus of atom?
The period number is equal to the number of shells. Periods are the horizontal rows on the periodic table. The number of shells increases down a group.
What does the group of the periodic have to do with reactivity?
The table was organized so that elements of similar properties are in the same group. What (partly) determines reactivity is the number of electrons an atom has in it's ground state. . Within the atom electrons are organized in shells. Atoms are stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (for hydrogen and helium it is 2 electrons.) . Elements of: Group 18 have 8 electrons in their outer shells Group 17 have 7 electrons in their outer shells Group 16 have 6 electrons in their outer shells Group 15 have 5 electrons in their outer shells Group 14 have 4 electrons in their outer shells Group 13 have 3 electrons in their outer shells Groups 3-12 have varied number of electrons in their outer shells Group 2 have 2 electrons in their outer shells Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells
Atoms of elements in the same group or column have the same number of what?
shells
How can you use the period number and the group number on the periodic table to describe an element's atomic structure?
The period number helps in determining the number of shells in the element. For example, Sodium (Na) is in 3rd period that means there are 3 shells in the atom of an Sodium.
What are elements of a group that has the same number of shells?
The elements in a group do not have the same number of shells, however, the elements in a horizontal row do have the same number of shells.
What do you notice about the number of enery level or shells as you move down a group or column in the periodic table?
Down a group, the number of energy levels (or shells) increases.
What define period of the periodic table?
The number of shells define the period. The elements of the same group has same number of shells.
What part on periodic table shows number of shells of nucleus of atom?
The period number is equal to the number of shells. Periods are the horizontal rows on the periodic table. The number of shells increases down a group.

Atoms of elements in the same group or column have the same number of what?
shells
What do elements in each group or family have in common?
elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons. The number of shells present increases as we move down a group.
Which way does electron shells increase on the periodic table?
The number of shells in periodic table increase down the group, i.e., vertically.
What is the Group trend Atomic radius?
Atomic radius increases down the group. This is because of the increase in number of shells.
Why is fluorine the most reactive non metal?
It is to do with the number of electron shells it has. it has the least number of shells in group 7, it is is easier to gain an electron as the attraction is strongest from the nucleus of the element.
What is the number of the family group with atoms that all ready have full valence shells?
The family is Group-18. They are noble elements.
What is the relationship between group and period?
Groups are the number of outer shell electrons in the elements and periods are the number of outer shells in the elements. eg. group 4, period 3 is Silicon which means that it has 3 shells where the electrons are stored and in the last shell it has 4 electrons
