Which best explains the bonding behavior of the family of elements in the Periodic table called metals?
Metals tend to form bonds by gaining electrons.
What is a family on the periodic table?
A family is a column in a periodic table; all elements in a family have similar physical and chemical properties, because they have the same numbers of valence electrons (outer electrons).
How many valence electrons in the nean family?
There are 8 valence electrons in the noble gases, the family of elements furthest to the right on the periodic table.
What family of elements has 4 valence electrons?
The family of elements that has 4 valence electrons is the carbon family, which includes carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These elements are located in Group 14 of the periodic table.
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.
Why are the elements in the same column on the periodic table commonly reffered to as a family?
They all have the same number of electrons
What family has complete octet of valence electrons?
Noble gasses have the complete octet of valence electrons. The are in the family 18 of the periodic table. They are unlikely to react with other elements.
Which family of the periodic table has the strongest tendency to lose electrons and why?
This is the alkali metals family; the ionization energy is lower for these chemical elements.
What does elments found in the same family on the periodic table have in common?
Elements in the same family (group) on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons and hence they have similar properties and reactivities.
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.
What do the families in the periodic table have in common?
Families in the Periodic Table of Elements have the same amount of valence electrons.
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).
