this is called an element family because the elements in the same columns in periodic tables each have similar traits and characteristics. For example, they all have the same amount of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outer ring of an atom)

Elements in a column are called a?
Vertical columns are called groups. Horizontal rows are called periods.
What do the elements in column 18 of the periodic table have in common?
All of the elements in column 18 of the periodic table are noble gases. This means their outer electron shells are completely full and in most cases are inert.
Column or family in the periodic table?
Noble family, transition group, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals,halogens...
What is rock on the periodic table?
Rock is not an element and therefore is not on the periodic table. Only elements are on the periodic table
How can the chemical activity of an element be determined from its location in the periodic table?
Elements in the same group, or vertical column, of the periodic table all have the same valence electron configuration, and therefore all have similar reactivity.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
Is a group vertical column of elements on the periodic table?
Yes, it is.
What is the definition of a column in the periodic table of elements?
A vertical column is called a 'group.' A horizontal row is called a 'period,' thus the periodic table.
What is a group of elements in the periodic table?
A group is a column in the periodic table of elements.
What do the elements in the same vertical column on the periodic table belong to?
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
How can you tell the elements have similar properties by using a periodic table?
Chlorine and Bromine have similar properties. You can tell because they are in the same vertical column in the periodic table.
What are elements in the same column of periodic table called?
All elements within a column are called a group.
What in Elements in the same vertical column on the periodic table belong to the same?
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
What is a family or group of elements?
its the elements in a vertical column and they tend to have similar properties (related)
What is a family in chemistry?
A family is a vertical column in the periodic table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics. There are 18 families in the periodic table.
What is the difference3 between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
What are families on the priodic table?
In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) is a vertical column in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 groups in the standard periodic table.
What are the vertical columns on the periodic chart called?
The vertical column in a periodic table is called "The Group" and there are 8 groups in the periodic table, I through O or VIII.They are called Groups or sometimes Families. For many the periodic table has 8 groups but when you also include the transition metals, then there are 18 groups which gives you a better understanding when you are working out the electron arrangement within the atom's structure.
