Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.

Valency
Astatine is similar to the halogen family
Yes
Copper is an element that is in the same family as gold and silver. All of these metals are in the same group on the periodic table. Because of their similarities in structure, these metals have similar properties
This element is selenium.
The members of this family have similar chemical properties.
To find an element that is similar to another element, look in the periodic table and find an element in the same column (group/family) as the element of interest. Usually, elements within the same group/family have very similar properties.

Astatine is similar to the halogen family
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
The element Bismuth (Bi) belongs to the Nitrogen family (Group 15). This means it has similar characteristics to other elements in this family. Bismuth is atomic number 83 and the last non-radioactive element.
Element A and element B are the most likely to have similar properties because they belong in the same family, because if you know an element's family you can tell the number of valance electrons and the elements they react with. In periods, the properties are not alike, they slowly change in a pattern.
Every element is unique. So, the element Helium isn't the same as any other element(s). It is however similar to other elements in it's family (inert gases).
Yes
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
Copper is an element that is in the same family as gold and silver. All of these metals are in the same group on the periodic table. Because of their similarities in structure, these metals have similar properties
The element that would have properties most similar to the new element would be an element that lies in the same group as the new element. Specifically, the element with the most similar properties will lie directly above or below that element in the group.
