Best Answer

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons that are used in chemical reactions.

How atoms in a group are similar?

Groups, in the periodic table of elements, are elements that all have the same number of valance electrons, which in turn tells us a lot about the kinds of chemical reactions that these elements will or will not undergo.


Do elements in a group have different charges?

All the elements in the periodic table of elements are electrically neutral; they do not have charges as elements, although they have the potential to engage in chemical reactions that will turn them into charged ions, in most cases. The different groups tell you what kinds of chemical reactions the elements are capable of, not what kind of charge they have.


Does the number and location of the atomic mass unit in any atom determine the kinds of chemical reactions that atom may undergo?

yes


Does mixing different kinds of matter cause heat?

In and of itself, no. However, some substances, when mixed, will undergo chemical reactions, which may either absorb or release heat.


What is produced when group 1 elements react with nonmetal elements?

Usually salts, from the metallic elements in group 1. However, note that hydrogen is also in group 1 and can not form salts, although it forms many other kinds of compounds.

Different elements are made up of different kinds of?

Elements can be combined in several different ways. Elements which undergo no chemical reactions when combined are called mixtures. Normally, the elements in a mixture retain their original properties, but metals can be combined into mixtures called alloys to produced new properties, though these properties tend to be the intermediate sum of the collective properties of the metals involved. Elements which combine chemically to produce entirely new substances are called chemical compounds.


In terms of chemical bond and electrons what kinds of change occur between atoms when substances undergo chemical reactions?

Bonds are broken by rearrangement of electrons, and then new bonds are made, again by rearrangement (sharing, donating, etc) of electrons.
