Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
because they have the same number of electrons in their valence shell / orbitals.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
Elements are arranged according to atomic number.Elements in same column have same characteristic properties.Elements in same row has same number of electronic shell.
Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also called valence electrons.
Electron configuration - they have the same number of elements in their outer 'electron shell'. This induces them to have similar bonding properties, and so elements in the same group are chemically similar.
The elements have same number of electrons in outermost shell and so same chemical properties.
the same number of valence electrons (which is the same number of electrons in the atom's outermost shell)
Valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell)
Elements that are in the same horizontal (left to right) rows, have similar outer shells.
Elements in same period have same shell. The electron enters outermost shell.
They have the same number of electrons in their outer or valence shell.
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
because they have the same number of electrons in their valence shell / orbitals.
similar chemical properties and characteristics
They all have the same number of valence electrons in their outer shell
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
