any element in group !
a compound composed of all the same elements would be a pure element. not a compound! a compound is when there is 2 or more atoms chemically bonded together. different compounds do have similar properties - they all have 2 or more atoms of elements chemically bonded together and they often react in similar way too.
2 unpaired valence electrons in their elemental state.
Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.

2 valence electrons (apex)
Because they all have the 2 electrons in their outer shell.
No it does not help with where the elements are located. Elements on the Periodic Table are organized by columns. If 2 elements are in the samecolumn they both have similar properties.
2 unpaired valence electrons in their elemental state.
Group 1 have one valence electron. The elements in Group 2 have two. The elements in Group 17 have seven valence electrons, and Group 18 elements have eight. Because the valence electrons within a family are the same, the elements in that group have similar properties.
they have the same number of valence electrons they have similar chemical properties
Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.
elements in each group of the periodic table have identical chemical properties as they have the same no. of valence electrons which determines their chemical properties. since calcium is in group II of the periodic table, it has the same chemical properties as the elements in group II. Elements in group II consists of: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra Elements in the same group has different physical properties such as boiling and melting points. However there are trends of their physical properties down the group.
