Why are elements on the periodic table called families?
Each family of elements has its own set of characteristics that each of the elements possess.
What do family of elements have in common?
What they have in common is that the ones of the same family is that they all have a close amount of protons.
What information would be most useful for classifying elements by how they bond with each other?
I consider that this information is the electronegativity.
How many elements are found next to each other on the periodic table?
Well, if we say that there are 117 elements, then at each end there is an element which is ony next to one other. So there would be 115 elements that are next to one each side. I don't know whether that answers your question, because I don't really understand what you are asking.
How is the number assigned to a family related to the electron configuration of each element in that family?
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in periods and groups. The periods run across the table horizontally from left to right, whilst the groups run vertically from top to bottom. Elements from the same group tend to have similar chemical properties since they have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. :) You can find which elements are in which groups and more about the groups themselves by looking at a periodic table for the numbers above the columns or searching Google for "group 1" for example.
Why are elements classified?
So you don´t mix them with each other.
Why are elements on the periodic table called families?
Each family of elements has its own set of characteristics that each of the elements possess.
Which elements do you notice about the location of each element in each family?
Elements in the same column belong to the same family. The elements in the family also have the same number of valence electrons.
Why are llamas and alpacas classified in the camelid family?
Because they are related to each other.
What is the substance of classified as compound?
A compound is defined as a substance that contains at least two chemical elements and always has a constant mass ratio between elements for each possible pair of the elements that are present in it.
What do family of elements have in common?
What they have in common is that the ones of the same family is that they all have a close amount of protons.
How are elements classifed on the periodic table?
Basically they are classified on the basis of repetition of similar properties......... Elements with same properties are assigned according to their groups.......each member of a particular group in a periodic table resembles almost similar properties elements with electron entering same shell is assigned same period....Thats how elements are classified
In the modern periodic table what elements are listed in vertical columns?
all elements are listed in a verticle column but each column indicates a family such as group seven, the halogens, or a group of similar elements such as the oxygen family or nitrogen family.
What are elements in a column called?
The elements in the 8 main columns of the Pperiodic Table are called Groups. Groups 1 and 2 are separated from Groups 3 to 8 by a block of elements called the Transition Series and the columns in this series have no specific names.
How are elements in the nitrogen family ( group 15) similar to each other?
Antimony and bismuth may be considered similar elements.
What is a family of elments?
A "family" of elements means the vertical columns in the periodic table. If you look above the periodic table, there will be numbers for each row, numbered from 1 to 18. Each "family" is a column.
Do the elements in the oxygen family tend to gain or lose electrons in chemical reactions?
that would depend on what specifically the were reacting with on each instance.
