Why do elements in the same group or column of the periodic table have similar properties?

Elements in the same column on the Periodic Table have similar chemical reactivity because they have the same outer electron configuration and it is the electron structure that determines an elements properties.

What element in the periodic table is identical?
Elements arranged in one column exhibit similar chemical properties. Elements in same column also have similar physical properties. Also elements in same column has similar electronic configuration.
Elements in the same column of the periodic table share?
Similar chemical properties.
What do all elements in a column of the periodic table have?
They have similar (more or less) chemical properties.
Where on the periodic table would you find five elements that have very similar properties?
Elements in the same group (column) have the same properties. All the elements in group one have similar properties. All the elements in group two have similar properties. And so on...
What does the column in the periodic table stand for?
they represent elements. the elements in a given column (or group) have the same number of valence electrons and hence similar properties.
What is similar about elements in a periodic table column?
Chemical properties.
What is the column of elements in the periodic table that have similar but not identical properties?
A group of elements.
How can you tell the elements have similar properties by using a periodic table?
Chlorine and Bromine have similar properties. You can tell because they are in the same vertical column in the periodic table.
In the periodic table elements in the same column have?
Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties. They are from the same family.
Why do elements in the periodic table have simailar properties?
They're arranged so that the elements in each column have similar properties.
What element in the periodic table is identical?
Elements arranged in one column exhibit similar chemical properties. Elements in same column also have similar physical properties. Also elements in same column has similar electronic configuration.
Why are elements place in the same column of the periodic table?
They have similar properties, usually.
How the periodic table is organized into families?
Elements in the same column have similar properties.
Elements in the same column of the periodic table share?
Similar chemical properties.
Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
Why do the elements in a column on the periodic table form a group?
The elements in a column on the periodic table form a group (or family) because they have similar physical and chemical properties.
What do elements in a column have in common in the periodic table?
Elements in a given column have the same number of valence electrons and hence the similar properties.
