Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).

Why do elements as a family or group share similar properties?
Because they have the same number of valence electrons and need the same number of electrons to fill their valence shells
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.
Where do elements have the same number in valence electrons?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Where are elements with the same number of valence electrons?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Are there strong similarities between elements within the same family?
Elements in the same family have the same number of valence electrons.
What do elements in the family have in common?
Elements in the same family (or group) have the number of valence electrons in common. Ex: Family 16 - 6 valence electrons.properties
Why do elements as a family or group share similar properties?

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.
Elements in a group or family have?
the same number of valence electrons (which is the same number of electrons in the atom's outermost shell)
Where do elements have the same number in valence electrons?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
What is the number of valence electrons for group 2 elements?
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).
Where are elements with the same number of valence electrons?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Are there strong similarities between elements within the same family?
Elements in the same family have the same number of valence electrons.
The elements within a group have a similar number of?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
What do elements with in a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics
Elements in a group or family have similar properties?
Because groups/families determine how many valence electrons the element will have. Therefore, all the elements in a group/family have the same number of valence electrons Chemimal and Physical.
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.
