all the members of a group of element have similar chemical properties because they all have the same number of electrons in their valence bands.The Periodic Table of elements is arranged this way,that is,by electron structure. The valence columns are the groups of elements , and is their electron structure that places them where they are.
Because they have the same number of valence electrons and need the same number of electrons to fill their valence shells.
they have same number of valence electrons and hence similar properties
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
in the same group( family) have the same electronic configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)
Yes, they do (since they have the same number of valence electrons).
Because their outer electronic structure is nearly the same, they also have the same amount of valence electrons, so it leads to similar chemical reactions (or similar bonds with other atoms)
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
The vertical elements are called groups. They have similar chemical properties.
similar chemical properties and characteristics
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.
The elements in a group have the similar chemical properties dueto presence of same no of electrons in their outermost shell but they differ physically because physical properties are related to their atomic sizes from top to bottom in a group atomic size increases so their physical properties also differ.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
2 unpaired valence electrons in their elemental state.

Yes, they do (since they have the same number of valence electrons).
