When looking at a periodic table of elements what do you know by knowing in which column an element appears?

Knowing the column in which an element appears on the periodic table can tell you about its group/family. Elements in the same column typically share similar chemical properties and reactivity due to having the same number of valence electrons.


What do you know about the elements that are in the same vertical column?

Elements in the same vertical column on the periodic table are known as a group. They have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. These elements also tend to form similar types of compounds and have corresponding trends in their physical and chemical behaviors.


What is the vertical column in the periodic table?

The vertical column in the periodic table is called a group or a family. Elements within the same group share similar chemical properties due to their similar electronic configurations.


How can you tell the elements have similar properties by using a periodic table?

Elements with similar properties are found in the same group or column on the periodic table. This is because they have the same number of valence electrons, which influences their chemical behavior. Elements in the same group tend to react in similar ways and have comparable physical properties.


In the periodic table what is meant by the term group?

A vertical column on the Periodic table on the periodic table is called group. There are 18 groups on the table. These groups are also referred to as families. Each element in a group has the same number of valence electrons and, therefore, similar chemical properties (there are some exceptions though).

What are the properties of a verical column of the periodic table?

The element in a given vertical column (or groups) have the same number of valence electrons and hence have similar properties.


What element have chemical properties similar to magnesium?

What do you call the elements found in the same vertical column?

They are called groups...


Why elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table also called a family?

The elements in the same vertical column have certain similar chemical properties hence they work as a family. Eg- Halogen family

What in Elements in the same vertical column on the periodic table belong to the same?

a 'family' of elements or also called a group


Where do you look on the periodic table to find an element with properties similar to that of another element?

In the same column.


What do you call vertical columns of element in the periodic table?

Vertical columns of elements in the periodic table are called groups or families. Elements within the same group have similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations.


What is special about all the elements listed in a vertical column or group on the periodic table?

The electron configuration in the outer shell is the same for all of the elements in the same column. This results in some similar chemical properties between these elements in the same group (column).


On the periodic table elements with the same number of valence electrons are in same?

Elements with the same number of valence electrons are in the same group (or vertical column).
