What they have in common is that the ones of the same family is that they all have a close amount of protons.
Aluminum's family is called the Boron family because it is the first element in the column. They all have three electrons in the outer valance shell and all but Uut (recently discovered) were discovered in the 1800's. Most of the elements also go through Beta decay, but not all. The group consits of poor metals with the exeption of Born, which is a metalloid.

what does a group/family have of elements have in common
Aluminum is of the family of elements called 'other metals' in the Periodic Table.
Silicon, aluminum, magnesium, iron.
No, aluminum is an element. A common form of sand is silicon dioxide, a compound of two elements neither of which is aluminum.
Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, and Thallium.
"Family" in this context usually means a column of a wide form Periodic Table. With this meaning, the other elements in the boron family are aluminum, gallium, indium, and tellurium.
Elements in the same family (or group) have the number of valence electrons in common. Ex: Family 16 - 6 valence electrons.properties
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Helium, Oxygen, silicon, and aluminum are the next most common elements in the universe and on earth.
"it is a solid not a liquid or a gas" --Previous Answer Believe it or not, that actually has nothing to do with family. Groups are the columns in the periodic table; if you look at the periodic table of the elements, you'll notice that it is in Group 13 (as element number 13, coincidentally).
The formulas of the most common ions of these elements are Al+3 and Cl-1.
Aluminum is an element silly!
It doesn't. Aluminum is an element.
What they have in common is that the ones of the same family is that they all have a close amount of protons.
