How do the properties of elements close to each other differ from elements far from each other?

They are usually completely different (metal alloys are the exception). The best example would be sodium and chlorine; a metal that basically explodes on contact with water and a gas which causes people to drown in their own mucus together form a harmless salt that is necessary to human life.
They're not related at all. For example-
Look at the salt (NaCl).
Na (Sodium) atoms are from a soft metal.
Cl (Chlorine) atoms are from a yellow-green gas.
By combination, they make salt which is neutral.
They are different. This is the only thing we can say, since the properties vary from compound to compound and elements to elements.

∙ 12y agoelements that are close to each other share similar, but not totally identical to each other. ones that are far away from each other share little to no properties.

Properties of elements compare to each other because they might have the same color or they have the same state/phase. btw i am only 13 and i had a better answer than the last person cuz they said "huh"

∙ 13y agoIt would depend on which properties you are comparing.

What family an group does hydrogen belong in?
Hydrogen's properties differ so much from other elements that it can't be grouped.
How could Mendeleevs table be used to predict the properties of elements that had not been discovered?
Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.
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.
Why doesn't hydrogen have a family in the periodic table?
Because although it has one valence electron when neutrally charged, it shares almost none of the chemical or physical properties of the other Group 1 elements. For example, where they are metallic solids at STP, hydrogen is a gaseous covalent molecule.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
What family an group does hydrogen belong in?
Hydrogen's properties differ so much from other elements that it can't be grouped.
Do compounds have the properties of the elements of which they are formed?
Close. It's the other way around. Elements (atoms) link up to make molecules of compounds.
How does combining elements into a compound affect their properties?
They will either bind on a mollecular scale to form "solutions", or on a non-mollecular scale to form "mechanical mixtures". Certain properties will cause the mixture to combust, give off gasses, or other things, depending on the elements and the ratios.
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
Do all elements have chemical properties?
Yes, all elements have chemical properties related to their ability to react with other elements or compounds.
What is the basic elements of the South African trial systems and how do they differ from other systems?

Why do the elements belong in their groups?
because they have similar properties to the other elements in their groups
Is a metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties?
A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties. Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.
How could Mendeleevs table be used to predict the properties of elements that had not been discovered?
Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.
How do physical properties differ as you move across a period or down a group?
Moving down a group, the elements will have the same number if valence electrons. Tis will give them similar properties, such as the Noble Gases, or the extreme reactivity of Group I metals. Moving across a period, elements will begin to resemble each other less and share fewer properties the further apart they are in the row.
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.
Are isotopes different in terms of their chemical properties?
A difference of chemical properties is observed for light elements; for other elements these differences are extremely small.
