All elements in the same group (or column) in the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons and it is the number of valence electrons that determine the reactivity of most elements.
See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
Alkali metals have a low electronegativity and only one valence electron.
They all have one valency electron.
all will react
Elements in the same group behave similarly because they all have the same number of electrons in their outer-most orbits. These electrons are what determines the types of bonds and chemical reactions the atom can undergo.
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.
In each group of elements, The elements will react in a way that is chemically similar. For example, all alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rRubidium, caesium, and francium) react vigorously with water
All the members of a group of elements have similar chemical properties because they all have the same number of electrons in their valence bands. The periodic table of elements is arranged this way, that is, by electron structure. The vertical columns are the groups of elements, and it is their electron structure that places them where they are.
all will react
Elements in a group have very similar properties and characteristics. Every element in a group has the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 2 - Alkaline Earth Metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell. Elements in the same group also have very similar characteristics such as what they react with etc. For Example:Group 2 - Alkali Metals - All react vigourously in Water.Group 18(0) - Inert Gases - All are highly unreactive.
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
Elements in the same group (column) have the same properties. All the elements in group one have similar properties. All the elements in group two have similar properties. And so on...

The atoms of the elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. This means that they react with other elements in a similar way. For example group 1. All the atoms in group 1 react with water and oxygen, so they have to be kept in paraffin-oil. Another example is group 18. They don't react with anything. The atoms of the same row have the same electron shells.
All these elements are metal. They have same properties.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
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.
