My guess would be sodium and potassium. Both are extremely reactive with water and form a base. both form similar salts. both of their ions are used in the human body (for diffrent purposes), bothe are akalai metals, both have to be stored under Kerosene due to they react readily with air.

What do elements in the same group have?
They have the same number of valence electrons which, in general, gives them similar oxidation numbers and other similar chemical and physical properties. The similarities are most pronounced in the groups at either side of the standard periodic table, and are least pronounced for the transition and rare earth elements.
What are physical chemical properties that the bases have in common?
They tend to have a slippery feel and a bitter taste.
What do chemical properties and groups have in common?
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell
What are the physical properties shared by the Nitrogen family?
With the exception of nitrogen which is a gas the rest, P, As, Sb, Bi are solids at room temperature. Arsenic and antimony are metalloids, bismuth is a metal. Not a lot of physical properties in common! Chemical properties--there are similarities.
What explains the properties of metals?
All the properties of metals are the result of their electron configuration, in which they have between one and three valance electrons and therefore tend to lose electrons when they engage in chemical reactions.
If the elements of the periodic table were sequenced by density from smallest to largest what would they have in common Would they have similar chemical and physical properties?
Each chemical element has specific chemical and physical properties.
What do the elements in the same in the same family have in common?
Valence shell configuration and physical and chemical properties.
What do elements in the same column (group) of the Periodic Table have in common?
Elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons and hence they have similar chemical and physical properties.
How do you identify elements in a compound?
there are many methods to identify compounds and elements like nmr, ir, chromatography, mass spectrometry, uv
Do bio-molecules have common physical and chemical properties?
No. Biomolecules are a diverse group, and do not have common physical and chemical properties. Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, etc. are all different both physically and chemically.

They tend to have a slippery feel and a bitter taste.
What do chemical properties and groups have in common?
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell
What do elements in the same column in table have in common?
The elements in same column have equal number of valence electrons. They have similar chemical properties.
Which properties do the halogens have in common?
All halogens are very reactive chemical elements anf form anions.
What do the elements in oxygen family have in common?
All elements have same number of valence electrons (two) and hence they have similar reactivity and chemical properties.
What do elements ina column on the periodic table usually have in common?
Chemicals in a column, or "group" have similar chemical properties.
