Alkaline Earth metals :)
The name of the family is the Halogen family.
Alkaline Earth metals :)
The periodic table also has a special name for its vertical columns. Each column is called a group. The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons.
The group that contains elements with 7 valence electrons is called the halogens. This group includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form salts with metals.
The group of elements with two valence electrons in each period is known as the alkaline earth metals. These elements include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They are located in group 2 of the periodic table.
A group in the periodic table refers to a vertical column of elements that share similar chemical properties and have the same number of valence electrons. This similarity arises because elements within a group tend to exhibit comparable reactivity and bonding behavior. For example, Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are highly reactive and have one valence electron, while Group 17 elements (halogens) are also reactive but have seven valence electrons. There are a total of 18 groups in the periodic table, each designated by a number or a name.
The elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling orbitals in their valence are known as the "p-block elements". These elements include groups 13 to 18 on the periodic table.
You can find out the symbol, name, mass, state, protons, neutrons, electrons, electronegativity, valence electrons, charge, and many other characteristics of the element considering the characteristics of other elements in the same group or period.
The transition metals.
Electrons in the outermost shell are valence electrons!
Based on the periodicity of the elements regarding properties, reactivity, valence electrons, etc.
