Why do group 12 elements have different properties that group 13?

∙ 6y ago
The group 12 elements have an electronic configuration of nd10(n+1)s2. The group 13 elements have the configuration of nd10(n+1)s2(n+1)p1. The group 12 elemnts Zn, Cd and Mercury have only 2 valence electrons, (s electrons). Group 13 elemnts B, Al, Ga, In Tl have 3 valence electrons, s2 p1.
The chemistry of the groups is therefor different.

∙ 13y agoGroups 13-16 don't have just one type in their group: some are metals, some metalloids, some non-metals. Thusly, the elements have less similarities within the groups than in others.
Group 13 is the Boron Group.
Group 14 is the Carbon Group.
Group 15 is the Nitrogen Group.
Group 16 is the Oxygen Group.
