Well, for one, they have the same amount of electrons in the outmost shell: Group 1 has 1, Group 2 has 2 etc... They all share similar chemical properties, for example Group 6 (?) S and Se both are acidic oxides.

What does groups mean in Chemistry?
Is the same thing as a family and a family is a vertical column in the periodic table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics, whether they be physical or chemical. There are 18 family (or group) columns in the periodic table.
Elements in the same column of the periodic table share?
Similar chemical properties.
What is a family of an element in the periodic table?
A family of elements (Or Chemical Family) is used to describe a group of related elements. For example, copper, silver, and gold all belong to the same chemical family. These 3 elements are often referred to as the coinage metals. These elements share several common properties.
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.
Do elements of the same group or period have more similar characteristics?
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.

Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
Elements in the same column of the periodic table share?
Similar chemical properties.

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.
Are elements arranged in the same row in the periodic table because they share many properties?
No - columns.
Your element belongs to the family?
On the peroidic table of elements, the family tells you a brief overview of what kind of element it is. It could be a metal, or gas, and it usually describes what kind of metal (transition) or what kind of gas (noble).
What is a family in chemistry?
A family is a vertical column in the periodic table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics. There are 18 families in the periodic table.
What name is given to the elements in a vertical column on the periodic table?
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.
What elements within a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics
Elements that are in a vertical column in the periodic table that tend to share similar chemical properties and characteristics are called a?
The vertical elements are called groups. They have similar chemical properties.
What are two properties the metal family share in the periodic table?
they produce extreme heat when mixed with water
