It usually reacts the same?
Alkali metals all react with water to give a alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen.
I thought you wrote "How do elements in the same group (in the periodic table) usually react?"
EDIT: Hmm.... family. Opps I read wrong again.
All alkanes contain Carbon-Carbon single bonds.
All alkanes combust to give either carbon dioxide and water or carbon monoxide and water
All alkenes contains Carbon=Carbon double bond
All alkenes decolourises aqueous bromine
All alcohol oxidises to give a carboxylic acid.
Lol, that's too many examples....
So, yea.... they usually reacts the same too.........
Some examples of non-toxic elements include helium, neon, argon, and krypton. These elements are considered non-toxic because they do not react with the human body in harmful ways and are generally safe to be around in normal conditions.
They both have a valency of 1 as their atoms all have 1 electron in the outermost orbits. (lithiium's electronic structure is 2,1, sodium 2,8,1) Because of this Lithium and sodium react very similarly. They both react quickly in air (and therefore have to be stored in oil to protect them). They both react vigorously with water producing hydrogen and forming an alkaline solution. They both burn with coloured flames - lithium red and sodium yellow. Thee are several other metals all belonging to the same 'family' - the group 1 elements or 'alkali metals'. Others include Potassium, Rubidium and Caesium.
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.
Dalton discovered that the atoms that combine to form compounds are distinguished from one another by their atomic weights. He also learned that all atoms of a given element are identical.
atoms are most stable when they have filled the outer shell of electrons which normally holds a max of 8. so if an atom has 1 electron in its outer layer getting rid of it will give him stability, in much the same way having 7 electrons will mean gaining one electron will give it stability. now lets say the two meet, they react with each other and everybody is happy. It is thought than when two elements react, they are trying to acheive a "perfect" electronic configuration (i.e. have a full outer shell). The more electrons needs to lose/gain before acheiving this stability determines its reactivity.
Elements in the same group or family of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar chemical properties. This similarity in valence electron configuration allows them to react in similar ways with other elements.
They have the same number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outer electron shell. This allows them to react with certain elements.
Elements with similar properties are found in the same group or column on the periodic table. This is because they have the same number of valence electrons, which influences their chemical behavior. Elements in the same group tend to react in similar ways and have comparable physical properties.
having the same number of electrons in their outermost electron shell. This is known as the valence electrons, which dictate the elements' reactivity and chemical behavior. Elements in the same group tend to react in similar ways because they have the same number of valence electrons.
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.
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.
Bromine is the element most like chlorine because they belong to the same group in the periodic table. They have similar chemical properties and react in similar ways with other elements.
Elements in the periodic table with similar qualities are grouped together in columns called groups or families. Elements within the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. This allows them to react in similar ways with other elements.
Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.
Elements in the same column, called a group, have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons determine an element's reactivity and chemical behavior, so elements in the same group tend to react in similar ways.
Elements share similar characteristics because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost energy level, which determines their chemical properties. This similarity is due to their placement in the periodic table, where elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These shared characteristics allow elements to react in similar ways and form similar types of compounds.
Elements in the same column on the periodic table share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. This allows them to form similar types of bonds and react in similar ways with other elements. The columns, or groups, are arranged based on the number of valence electrons in each element.
