What properties do group 17 and 18 in the periodic table have in common?

The chemical properties of elements in group 1 (the alkali metals) are: They are the most reactive metals therefore they are always found in compounds in nature. Reactivity increases as atomic number increases, due to a lower IE (ionization energy). They react with elements in group 17 to give the general formula MX (M is the metal and X represents any members of group 17. M + X --> MX Example Na + Cl --> NaCl The chemical properties of elements in group 17 (the halogens) are: It is the only group that contains all three phases of matter. They occur in nature only in compounds because of their high reactivity. Reactivity decreases as atomic number increases due to lower electronegativitie

∙ 6y agoGroup 1 elements (alkali metals) want to give away their single electron in a compound to become stable at 8, while the Group 17 elements (halogens) want to gain an electron since they are so close to becoming stable at 8 electrons.

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.
Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
To what does the term periodic in periodic table refer?
Periodic means reoccuring. On the periodic table, periodic refers to the elements in each group having some of the same simularities and some of the same properties.
Where are Elements with similar properties in the periodic table located?
Elements with similar physical and chemical properties are located in a group.
What do the elements at the extreme right of the periodic table have in common?
Non-metallic properties
What are the chemical properties of group p of the periodic table?
There is no group p on the periodic table.
Why there is a group of elements in periodic table?
There is a group of elements in the periodic table as the elements with same properties are clubbed together.
How can the periodic table identify the properties of chemical families?
Periodic table group elements with same properties together. Hence their properties can be identified.
In a periodic table a set of properties repeat from what?
B-Group to group
What do elements ina column on the periodic table usually have in common?
Chemicals in a column, or "group" have similar chemical properties.
Which table has different elements arranged by common properties in rows and columns?
periodic table
How were chemists able to predict the chemical properties of technetium?
The properties of technetium were predicted on the basis of the periodic table.
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 do you mean by group in periodic table?
The columns in the periodic table are groups, also called families because the elements in a group have similar properties.
What group on the periodic table has the most properties?
The question is effectively meaningless.
The elements in the same group on the periodic table have similar?
...chemical properties.
How do you find the most similar elements in the periodic table?
In the periodic table, the elements are grouped according to their properties. Elements in a group has an equal number of valence electrons. So the elements in a group have most common chemical properties.
