They contain similar properties. For example, in the first colum of the Periodic Table all contain alkali metals. Alkali metals react with water.
They are called groups and have similar properties with the other elements in that group.
Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties. They are from the same family.
No. It is not the same. the number of valence electrons are same for the elements in the same column (group).
All elements within a column are called a group.
No, but elements in the same vertical columns have similar properties.
Elements in same column have same number of outermost electrons. It determines chemical properties.
row or column
The elements in same column have equal number of valence electrons. They have similar chemical properties.
Chemical elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
The electron configuration in the outer shell is the same for all of the elements in the same column. This results in some similar chemical properties between these elements in the same group (column).
