Yes.
The elements in a period in a Periodic Table are categorised by how many outershells are surrounding the neutron and proton nucleus. They are alike in properties because the amount of electrons relates directly to how many outer shells the element has, for exampe Magnesium will have 3 outer shells because it has 12 electrons (2, 8, 2).
The more shells an element has, the stronger the formation is and the higher the melting and boiling point will be. Therefore elements in the same period will have similar melting and boiling points.

What do vertical colums represent in the periodic table?
Physical and chemical properties change somewhat regularly across a period. Elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to be more similar than elements that are father apart.
What is the relationship between the maximum number of electrons in each shell and the number of elements in each period?
the number of elements in each period is equal to the shell's capacity for electrons. ^-^ hope this helps
Define periodicity as it relates to the organization of elements on the periodic table?
The relationship is that the elements are organized by periods. Each row is a period and it goes from left to right. Each row is a period identified by different colors. Elements on the same row have something in common. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example all the elements on the 1st row have only one orbital for its electrons. All the elements on the 2nd period (row) have two orbitals for its electrons. This repeats to period (row) 7. - Brian Tui
Why are groups on the periodic table called families?
The elements is a group on the Periodic Table are considered a family because they have similar electron configurations and similar properties.
What is true about the properties of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table?
All of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons.
How are the elements in each period alike?
the number of protons
Why are elements in families?
elements are grouped together into families as they have simliar properties. all the elements in each collum or period have imilar chamical properties.
Why are elements in their families?
elements are grouped together into families as they have simliar properties. all the elements in each collum or period have imilar chamical properties.
What happens to the properties of elements when they react with other elements?
what happens to the properties of elements when they react with each other element
What is a period or series?
Periods and series are used when grouping elements. Elements are listed in rows, as periods, on the periodic table so that each is grouped with others with similar properties.
How are elements classifed on the periodic table?
Basically they are classified on the basis of repetition of similar properties......... Elements with same properties are assigned according to their groups.......each member of a particular group in a periodic table resembles almost similar properties elements with electron entering same shell is assigned same period....Thats how elements are classified
What is the chemical properties of each elements in group A in the periodic table?
what property does each of the elements have

What does period mean in the periodic table?
Periodic means repeating. When Mendeleev was rearranging the elements, he noticed that some of their properties matched with one another about every eight elements. Thus, when the elements are arranged in the rows of the Periodic Table, they also have matching properties in each column.
What is the significance of the horizontal in the periodic table?
Physical and chemical properties change somewhat regularly across a period. Elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to be more similar than elements that are father apart.
Why do elements in the periodic table have simailar properties?
They're arranged so that the elements in each column have similar properties.
