Elements in the same family (or group) have the number of valence electrons in common. Ex: Family 16 - 6 valence electrons.

what does a group/family have of elements have in common
similar chemical properties and characteristics
Family of elements share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. This results in comparable reactivity and bonding patterns within a group of elements. Additionally, they often exhibit a trend in physical properties such as atomic size and electronegativity.
Normally, sodium and chlorine are the most common but potassium and chlorine is a "salt" as well. The common rule is that elements of the halogen family and the alkali family form "salt" compounds.
All elements have same number of valence electrons (two) and hence they have similar reactivity and chemical properties.
Valence shell configuration and physical and chemical properties.
Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of outer electrons, which determines their reactivity. This similarity is due to the elements in a family occupying the same column on the periodic table, which means they share the same number of valence electrons.
The noble gases, column 18 in the most common modern periodic table.
A family of elements (Or Chemical Family) is used to describe a group of related elements. For example, copper, silver, and gold all belong to the same chemical family. These 3 elements are often referred to as the coinage metals. These elements share several common properties.
Elements in family 7 are called halogens.
No, on the periodic table of elements a family is a group of elements that are in the same row.Answered by Faustin Obedi
