because a group of elements in the Periodic Table behave in a single manner.they have a similar kind of physical properties,i can't surely tell about the chemical properties but in some exceptions these chemical properties are also same.
Oxygen is placed in group 6 (also known as group 16) of the periodic table because it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell. Elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties due to their shared number of valence electrons.
Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties but not necessarily similar atomic numbers. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their reactivity and chemical properties.
alkaline metal group(or the group 1 elements, except for hydrogen(H), which is a group 1 element but not an alkali metal) - lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
According to Chemists, the elements of sodium and chlorine belong to the same atomic family as well as carbon and lead.
Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.
Elements with similar electron configurations are placed in the same group.
Same number of valence electrons cause same properties. The elements with same properties are grouped together. For example- the alkali metals are placed in group-1
Mendleef arranged the elements in the increasing order of their atomic masses due to which elements having same properties were placed in the same group and there were few exceptions.
elements are in the same group since they react similarly to other elements in that group.
elements that share the same colum
Elements in group have same number of valence electrons. They also have same chemical properties.
K refers to potassium. it is placed in alkali metal family i.e. group 1. Calcium is placed in alkaline earth family i.e group-2.
Same elements of group have same valency. They possess same chemical behaviour.
The elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence similar chemical and physical properties.
Elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.
The elements in a group do not have the same number of shells, however, the elements in a horizontal row do have the same number of shells.
No, they do not. However, elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
