Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.


Do the elements in a group of priodic table have the similar chemical and physical properties?

The elements in a group have the similar chemical properties dueto presence of same no of electrons in their outermost shell but they differ physically because physical properties are related to their atomic sizes from top to bottom in a group atomic size increases so their physical properties also differ.
