Atoms in the same group (in the same vertical column) of the Periodic Table have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it has protons. The number of protons is given by it's atomic number. The electrons are considered to be arranged in "shells." The outermost shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons.
The effect of being in the same group is that the atoms within a group have similar reactions.

Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
How atoms in a group are similar?
Groups, in the periodic table of elements, are elements that all have the same number of valance electrons, which in turn tells us a lot about the kinds of chemical reactions that these elements will or will not undergo.
To what does the term periodic in periodic table refer?
Periodic means reoccuring. On the periodic table, periodic refers to the elements in each group having some of the same simularities and some of the same properties.
What is the difference3 between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
How are nitrogen phosphorus and arsenic similar?
They are all in the same Group ; Group (V) of the Periodic Table.
What do atoms of the same elements in the same group of the periodic table have in common?
They are the same
Which two of the atoms A B C and D are in the same group of the periodic table?
answer
What does groups in a periodic table have?
atoms in a group have the same number of valence electrons
What is an atom's group?
An atom's "group" is its column position in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.
Why don't atoms simply get larger you read across the periodic table?
because the no. of shells in the atoms across the Periodic Table remains the same
Why there is a group of elements in periodic table?
There is a group of elements in the periodic table as the elements with same properties are clubbed together.
Why don't atoms simply get larger as you read across the periodic table?
because the no. of shells in the atoms across the periodic table remains the same
Atoms that have the same number of valence electrons in their outer shell?
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
What is a group in the periodic table called?
the vertical column is called group in the periodic table.
Where to find ions and atoms on the periodic table?
Not true I am trying to find the same thing out but I no for a fact they are both on a periodic table.
Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
What does family mean in the periodic table?
a family of the periodic table is like a group of elements of the same type.
