Because the elements of the column have similar chemical properties and follow trends in the columns
This is probably a reference to the periodic table of the elements, which has columns. All the elements in a given column have the same configuration of valance electrons. There is a column of noble gases, a column of halogens, etc.
It's Is Arranged By Matals, NonMetals,Matalliods And Moble Gases
Elements in the same family-assuming family means classifications such as non-metals, metals-have similar properties.
The chemical nature of an element is determined (mainly) by the electronic configuration in the outermost shells. However, most elements have isotopes - atomic configurations that have the same outer shells, but which may have a different number of neutrons in the atom core. This gives them the same chemical nature, but a different mass. Many isotopes are unstable in the long run - they will spontaneously disintegrate.
As the name indicates it is "periodic" meaning it repeats.Russian guy called Mendeleev noticed that certain elements have similar properties. We now know this has to do with valance electrons - can't remember if he knew this.So he set up this grid of elements with similar properties in columns and in increasing order of atomic weight left to right. This gives the table we know and love.He was actually able to leave blanks for things that we hadn't discovered becasue he was so sure of the pattern he saw emerging.Other tables exist.
The elements in the same families (columns) are the most similar.
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.
The vertical columns in the periodic table contain elements with the same number of electrons in their outermost shell, known as the valence electrons. This gives these elements similar chemical properties.
Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements into rows and columns based on their atomic mass to show a recurring pattern of properties. This layout, known as the periodic table, allowed him to predict the properties of missing elements and demonstrate the periodicity of elemental properties.
The columns in the periodic table, also known as groups, are organized based on the number of electrons in the outermost energy level of the elements. Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations. The columns are numbered from 1 to 18, with the elements in the same column sharing common characteristics.
this put elementswith similar chemical properties in columns
Columns in a Periodic Table are called groups.They represent elements with similar characteristic. All the elements in a group has same number of valence electron.
columns - Groups Rows - Periods
Elements are organised in terms of properties in same column. Properties are found to be periodic .
The elements in columns are categorized by their traits, and the linear order of the elements are categorized by mass. So pretty much, columns.
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.
All elements a given column have the same number of valence electrons.
