NO
No, compounds do not necessarily have similar properties to their uncompounded elements. Example: Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gasses at normal temperature and pressure, but their compound, dihydrogen oxide (water) is a very distinctly different substance.
All the elements in the same group as Flourine have similar properties. This group of elements is referred to as the halogens, and is located in group 7.

There is no fully objective answer to this question. Many chemists would consider that two lanthanide elements with atomic numbers differing by only one would be likely to qualify. Another possibility is the pair zirconium and hafnium. These are very similar in most chemical characteristics but differ greatly in electron capture tendencies in nuclear reactors.
Silicon -- it also forms 4 bonds. Usually elements in the same group or vertical column in the periodic table all have similar chemical bonding properties.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
true
They can, however in Groups the properties are much more similar.
no
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.

elements in the same group
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.
You would likely find five elements with very similar properties in the same group of the periodic table. For example, elements in Group 1 (alkali metals) like lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium share similar characteristics such as being soft, highly reactive metals with low melting points and easily losing electron to form cations.
All the elements in the same group as Flourine have similar properties. This group of elements is referred to as the halogens, and is located in group 7.

Uranium and neodymium are very different chemical elements.
No: The compounds more often have very different properties from those of the elements that form them.
