A family is a vertical column in the Periodic Table. Elements in a family all share similar characteristics, whether they be physical or chemical. There are 18 family (or group) columns in the periodic table.
a "chemical group" is generaly the classification of different chemicals by their properties.
by this i mean that a group of chemicals that have similar properties are often put into the same chemical group.
for example; "alkais" are a group of chemicals that are reactive and have a similar "pH". these chemicals are in many ways opposites of the chemical group known as "acids". acids are a group of chemicals that share the ability to donate protons (whereas alkalis "accept" protons).
these groups can have sub catagories, acids for example consist of chemical groups such as "Lewis acids", "Brønsted acids", "weak acids", "organic acids", "strong acids" and so on.
A chemical family is a term which refers to elements in the same group on the periodic table. This atoms often have similar properties such as reactivity. Some families, such as the halogens and alkali metals, have specific names, while others do not.
a chemical family is elements that are in the same category
A family( also known as a group ) is going down in a line on the periodic table of elements
Alkaline Metals, Metals, Non-metals and there's one more but I can't remember sorry!
It is a group of elements that have similar properties.
The periodic table families are called groups. There are 18 groups in periodic table.
Groups
Hydrogen is in the periodic table because it is an element, and all elements are in the periodic table.
All of the others in the same row of the Periodic Table as sodium.
Average Atomic Mass, or Atomic Weight of an element (the one shown on the Periodic table).
This describes an element. There are over a hundred elements in the physical world, and they are all categorized in the periodic table.
Because Palladium is an element (it cannot be broken down into other substances) and the periodic table is a table of all of the elements we know of.
they are called groups or families
they are all important
Groups or families; all are arranged by the number of valence electrons.
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
None are derived from another.
colums are called "families" or "groups". They are all placed in order according to the atomic number, and valend electrons
To understand and group all the elements.
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.
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
All elements within a column are called a group.
It can tell you crtain characteristics of that element.
