Group 8
Groups on the periodic table are numbered from 1 to 18, with the group number corresponding to the number of valence electrons in the elements of that group. Group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons, and so on. Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 are known as the main group elements.
The columns of elements on the periodic table are called groups. Each group contains elements with similar chemical properties due to their shared number of electrons in the outermost energy level.
Yes, elements in the same family on the periodic table share the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom, and they determine the element's chemical properties. Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.
A group in the periodic table is a column of elements that share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons in their outermost energy level (valence electrons). There are 18 groups in the periodic table, each denoted by a number and/or letter indicating the number of valence electrons for the elements in that group.
Groups are the number of outer shell electrons in the elements and periods are the number of outer shells in the elements. eg. group 4, period 3 is Silicon which means that it has 3 shells where the electrons are stored and in the last shell it has 4 electrons
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
The groups have equal number of valence electrons. The elements in same groups have same chemical properties.
The number of valence electrons is equal to the atomic number for elements in groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on the periodic table. This is because these elements have their valence electrons in the same energy level as their atomic number. However, this is not true for elements in transition metals (groups 3-12), as the pattern becomes more complex due to the filling of inner d orbitals.
elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons.
All elements in the groups (excluding transition metals) have the same number of electrons as the group number.
