Elements in the same family (or group) have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells.
What is the name of the family that has elements that have a full outer shell?
This is the noble gases familiy.
What energy level of an atom affects the chemical behavior of different elements?
The highest level. Or the outer, valence shell.
Elements react with other elements based on the number of what in their outer shell?
Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also called valence electrons.
What do elements with in a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics

How many electrons does sulfur selenium tellurium polonium will have in their outer shell and why?
All these elements have six electrons in the outer shell.
Atoms that have the same number of valence electrons in their outer shell?
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
