Elements of the same group generally share the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outer energy level only. These are the electrons that participate in a chemical reaction, so elements in the same group behave similarly in chemical reactions, which makes predictions and generalizations possible.
Chemical reactions are a result of valence electron transfer and/or sharing. Valence electrons are located in the outer-most orbitals of the reactant elements. In a sense, though, you could say protons are also involved in chemical reactions. Although an element will never donate, accept, or share protons in a CHEMICAL reaction, they are part of the determination in an elements reactivity. Reactions that do involve protons are termed "nuclear reactions," and are not chemical reactions. In fact, a lot of the methods used to determine chemical reactions -- such as enthalpy -- cannot even be applied to nuclear reactions. Neutrons, like protons are involved in nuclear reactions, but never in chemical reactions. Hope this helps!
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Lactose and sucrose share the same chemical composition but differ in molecular structure. Such molecules are called isomers.
Two or more atoms that get together and share electrons form a chemical bond.
Magnesium has some similarities with beryllium.

Lithium, sodium potassium, caesium, rubidium and francium are all alkali metals; consequently they share many chemical and physical properties.
Bonding occurs when atoms gain,lose,or share electrons in their outer energy level.
What similarities do some of these drugs share in Pregnancy category X
Organisms share energy from the sun in the food web. A plant converts the energy from the sun into chemical energy, then an animal eats the plant. Sun->Plant Plant->Rabbit Rabbit-> Snake Snake->Eagle Then the foodchain may stop with the Eagle

They both are old and worthless.
Nonmetals typically share electrons in chemical bonds in order to achieve a stable octet configuration in their outermost energy level. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms involved in the bond to reach a more stable, lower energy state. Examples of elements that commonly share electrons in bonds include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
