because they have the same number of electrons in their valence shell / orbitals.
Similar chemical properties.
Periodic table group elements with same properties together. Hence their properties can be identified.
All groups have the same number of valence electrons and hence have similar properties.
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.
Yes, they do (since they have the same number of valence electrons).
Families of elements on the periodic table tend to have similar properties because they share the same valence electron configuration. This dictates the type of bonds the elements will make, which has a large impact on the chemical and physical properties of the element.
Elements with same properties are found in same group.They are also called families.
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
Elements in the same column have similar properties.
Similar chemical properties.
Periodic table group elements with same properties together. Hence their properties can be identified.
All groups have the same number of valence electrons and hence have similar properties.
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.
similar chemical properties and characteristics
Yes, they do (since they have the same number of valence electrons).
in the same group( family) have the same electronic configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)
Generally speaking, they share chemical properties, including number of valence electrons. Occasionally, they share physical properties as well, but that is not always the case.
