How is the number assigned to a family related to the electron configuration of each element in that family?
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in periods and groups. The periods run across the table horizontally from left to right, whilst the groups run vertically from top to bottom. Elements from the same group tend to have similar chemical properties since they have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. :) You can find which elements are in which groups and more about the groups themselves by looking at a periodic table for the numbers above the columns or searching Google for "group 1" for example.
What elements in an element family have similar?
Valency
Why are elements put together in period in a family?
Because it helps with their electron configuration.
How can you determine the number of valence electrons in an atom?
You can determine how many valence electrons an atom has by what family the element of the atom is in. For instance, if the element is in family 8A, the number of valence electrons will be 8. Or, if the element is in family 2A, the number of valence electrons for the atom will be 2. So, whatever number family the atom is in, the number of valence electrons equals that.
How many outer shell electron does an atom of an element belonging to the halogen family have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
Which of these elements is found in a family with the above electron configuration?
Every elements have the electrons of an atom distribution or a molecule in molecular orbitals and it is called electron configuration. The element that can be grouped in the family with above electron configuration is called antimony.

In orde rto be like noble gas an element can change which subatomic particle?
An element can either gain or lose electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. Such an electron configuration gives an atom of an element a full outer shell, thereby making that element's ion nonreactive. Metals tend to lose electrons, and become cations, whereas nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and become anions. The amount of electrons an element gains of loses is based on the group/family the element is found in on the Periodic Table.
What elements in an element family have similar?
Valency
What patterns are noted in the electron structures of elements found in a periodic and in a family in the periodic table?
The period (row) indicates how many electron shells the element has and the family (column) indicates how many valence electrons the element has.
What compounds form single covalent bonds?
Elements in group 17 need one electron to gain a stable electron configuration. Two atoms of the same element or two elements in this family forms compounds with a single covalent bond. Examples are chlorine, bromine or iodine chloride.
How do the valence electrons configurations of the alkali metals compare with each other?
The valance electron configuration is the same in each at ns1 where n = the period number.
Why do atoms within the same family have similar chemical properties?
The reason for similar properties among the elements is due to the resemblance in the electronic configuration of all the elements of a family. For example :- Each element of Alkali metals family has 1 electron in their outermost shell. Hence, they all have similar properties
Why are elements put together in period in a family?
Because it helps with their electron configuration.
Which element in Group 13 has the lowest electron affinity?
Polonium has the lowest electron affinity in the oxygen family.
What element family does the element iron belong to?
The element family that iron belongs to on the periodic table is the transition metals family. Other elements in this family include cobalt and nickel.
Which element is located in the family represented by n s2 n p 3?
The elements with a s2 p3 electron configuration are located in the 5A (or 15) column of the periodic table: nitrogen, N; phosphorus, P; arsenic, As; antimony, Sb, and bismuth, Bi.
