What is a family on the periodic table?
A family is a column in a periodic table; all elements in a family have similar physical and chemical properties, because they have the same numbers of valence electrons (outer electrons).
What is a family of element?
A family of elements is a group (column) of the Periodic Table. The family of an element is the column it is in in the Periodic Table. In a family of elements, they all have similar properties. An Example of a Family of Elements;The Alkali Metals - Group 1LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCaesiumFrancium
What does groups mean in Chemistry?
Is the same thing as a family and a family is a vertical column in the periodic table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics, whether they be physical or chemical. There are 18 family (or group) columns in the periodic table.
What are the two uses of alkali metals?
all family of periodic table thier properties and uses
What does elments found in the same family on the periodic table have in common?
Elements in the same family (group) on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons and hence they have similar properties and reactivities.
What are two properties the metal family share in the periodic table?
they produce extreme heat when mixed with water
Why don't all of the elements in the periodic table have the same properties?
because they aren't straight or family guy
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.
Why are the elements in each group int he periodic table considered a family?
Because they have many similar chemical properties.
Where on a periodic table is one atom that has similar properties of sodium?
The atom right under it and in sodiums family; potassium.
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.
Does each family in the periodic table has its own charicteristic properties based upon its number of valence electrons?
yes
