We can say that this is true to some extent.We must all agree that the properties of a compound DOES depend on the elements it contains since a variation in the elements changes the properties of the compound.However, what we must remember is that the properties of the compound does NOT depend on the properties of the elements that make up the compound.A simple example is water, made of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is very different from the elements indeed.
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)
Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change.The atoms of an element will react to achieve a noble-gas configuration. The atoms will either gain or lose electrons to achieve such a configuration.
Seldom do they have similar physical properties - many of those depend on atomic mass and related properties, and they increase down the group. Chemically, they are similar mostly because their outer (valence) electronic structure is the same.
The properties are called extensive.
The number of protons is equal to atomic number. The periodicity of chemical properties depends on the outermost shell of electrons.

the way electrons are arranged in the atoms
Compounds have different properties from the elements that make them. ... The properties of a compound depend not only on which atoms the compound contains, but also on how the atoms are arranged.
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)

It is true.
The chemical properties of an element depend on its electron configuration, which is in turn determined by the number of protons. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, which, being neutral, have not influence on chemical properties.
The answer will depend on the properties of what!
No: Both characteristics are important, and they are, of course, interrelated.
The properties depend on what the transformations are.
