The term used is group. It is also called family.
Yes, it is.
A vertical column is called a 'group.' A horizontal row is called a 'period,' thus the periodic table.
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
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 outer energy level. Groups are vertical columns and are numbered from 1 to 18.
The elements that are listed in vertical columns all share specific aspects. These aspects include having the same number of valence electrons and having similar chemical properties.
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
The elements in the same vertical column have certain similar chemical properties hence they work as a family. Eg- Halogen family
The vertical columns in the periodic table contain elements with the same number of electrons in their outermost shell, known as the valence electrons. This gives these elements similar chemical properties.
Vertical columns are called groups. Horizontal rows are called periods.
The vertical column in the periodic table is called a group or a family. Elements within the same group share similar chemical properties due to their similar electronic configurations.
the vertical column is called group in the periodic table.
Elements with the same number of valence electrons are in the same group (or vertical column).
