Chemical properties.
The classic example is the Group (I) Alkali metals, they all react with water., to produce the hydroxide, and liberate hydrogen gas.
Here is the general equation
2M + 2H2O = 2MOH + H2
However in going down this Group , their reactivity with water becomes more violent, from genetle fizzing (Lithium) to explosive (Francium).
Francium is not found in a lab. because it is also radio-active.
Group (II) Alkaline Earth metals also have a similar property, but their
reactivity is more genetle.
M + 2H2O = M(OH)2 + H2

How are elements in the nitrogen family ( group 15) similar to each other?
Antimony and bismuth may be considered similar elements.
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
