Elements in the same column belong to the same family. The elements in the family also have the same number of valence electrons.

They have the same number of valence electrons
well its takes for ever to figure out
H2O. Notice the presence of two elements, H and O. Each of the other three is an element.
"it is a solid not a liquid or a gas" --Previous Answer Believe it or not, that actually has nothing to do with family. Groups are the columns in the periodic table; if you look at the periodic table of the elements, you'll notice that it is in Group 13 (as element number 13, coincidentally).
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen. They can form the four moleccules Carbon dioxide(CO2), Water(H2O), Methane(CH4) and Ammonia(NH3). These four molecules are the 'brick' that build to make life.

It can tell you crtain characteristics of that element.

The atom of an element in the third period of the Periodic Table has 3 energy levels and so on. Also, atoms of elements in the same group have the same no. of valence electrons.
yes. you can mix two different elements into a new element in a lab. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Totally false ! August 17 2012. A basic principle of chemistry for hundreds of years is that you CANNOT mix two elements and get a third element. Notice that a key word is "mix".
The atomic number increases from left to right across a period (row). This is because the atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of each element. No two elements have the same atomic number. It is the protons that define an element.

Mendeleev was the first to notice that properties of elements exist as a perdoic function of atomic mass
In the United States, a copyright notice consists of three elements:: 1. the © symbol (in some cases (c) is substituted), the word "Copyright" or abbreviation "Copr."; 2. the first year of publication; and 3. the owner of the copyright, either by name, abbreviation, or other designation
The number of valence electrons determine the chemical properties of a particular element. For example, elements in group 1 tend to donate its valence electron away to produce its stable +1 ion. It also explains the formation of -1 ions from group 17 elements (halogens).
