Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.
The members of this family have similar chemical properties.
Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.
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
It is in the family name of transition metals Enjoy:D
They all have similar chemical properties, take chemical properties to be physical traits and it much resembles a family
Iodine and chlorine have very similar chemical properties because they are in the same chemical family (go see a periodic table). They are both halogens (so they have the same valence electrons).
The smallest particle that retains the properties of an element is an atom. Quarks and leptons are just a family of elementary particles and do not carry any properties of the element.
Both elements, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) lie in the Group 1 column of the Periodic Table , which contains the members of the Alkali Metals family. Members within a family, or column, of elements tend to have similar chemical properties.
Neither. Carbon is a chemical element.
Beryllium, Calcium or any other element within the same family or group (vertical column on the periodic table)
The family/group where they belong.
