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.
What else can I help you with?
Why is hydrogen in the perodic table?
Hydrogen is in the periodic table because it is an element, and all elements are in the periodic table.
Which other elements contain the same number of atomic shells as sodium?
All of the others in the same row of the Periodic Table as sodium.
Why are the elements calcium copper and bromine on the same periodic table row?
Calcium, copper, and bromine are on the same row of the periodic table because they all have the same number of electron shells. They are all in the fourth row of the periodic table, which corresponds to the fourth energy level where the electrons are located.
What is heaviest element on the periodic table of elements?
The heaviest element in the periodic table (known in March 2013) is ununoctium.
What is the basis for the organization of the modern periodic table is?
The modern periodic table does a lot of things. It organizes elements in order of electron orbitals for one thing (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, ect..). It also has all noble gases stacked on top of each other helping to determine the columns of 1-8 valence electrons. It seperates all metals from nonmetals and elements in the same column will have similar physical and chemical properties.
What are called periods on the periodic table of elements?
Groups or families; all are arranged by the number of valence electrons.
What are the four main families on the periodic table?
they are all important
What is a chart that lists all the known elements?
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
What makes the periodic table table different from all the other families?
None are derived from another.
What are columns called in a periodic table and what do they have in common?
colums are called "families" or "groups". They are all placed in order according to the atomic number, and valend electrons
Why is it important to have different families on the periodic table?
To understand and group all the elements.
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 name of the table of elements?
It is named The PERIODIC TABLE. The periods being the horizontal rows The groups being the vertical columns.
What name is given to all vertical columns in the table?
they are called groups or families
What are the vertical columns on the periodic table calles?
The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups. The table is arranged in such a way that all elements in the same group are similar and have the same number of valence electrons.
What families have no radioactive elements?
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
What are elements in the same column of periodic table called?
Elements in the same column of the periodic table are called "groups" or "families". They share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons, which influences their reactivity and behavior.
