Best Answer

The elements immediately above and below aluminum in the same column of a wide form Periodic Table: boron and gallium. As is usual for relatively light elements, aluminum is more like the element below it, gallium, than the one above it: Aluminum and gallium are both metals, while boron is a nonmetal. In compounds with oxyanions, however, boron is similar to aluminum compounds with oxyanions.

Which elements have similar properties?

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.


Where are Elements with similar properties in the periodic table located?

Elements with similar physical and chemical properties are located in a group.


Do elements in the same group or period have similar properties?

Elements of same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence have similar properties.


How did mendeleev make predictions about the properties of elements?

This is a very wordy response, but by setting up the Periodic Table according to elements' properties and characteristics, he was able to predict any given elements' properties because, with the way the Periodic Table is arranged, all of the elements surrounding any specific element would have similar properties to the element that they surrounded. For example, at the time there was no element known as Aluminum, but given the properties of the elements around that area (Group 13), he was able to correctly predict Aluminum's properties. When aluminum was discovered, Mendeleev's predictions were extremely close to the actual element's properties.


Do compounds of different elements have similar properties?

Generally the properties are different.

Which elements have similar properties on the periodic table?

The elements in the same groups usually do. Elements in the same group have same number of valence electrons and hence have similar chemical and physical properties.


Do any of the elements on the periodic table of elements have similar properties?

Elements in the same group have similar properties. The groups are made according to the properties of elements. Elements in a group have an equal number of valence electrons.
