Why do members of a family of elements behave the same in chemical reactions?

THis is because they have the same properties, therefore, they react the same way.

What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
How do periodic trends illustrate stability and change in chemistry?
Periodic trends illustrate how some elements are very reactive while others are stable.
The ability to cause others to behave as they might not otherwise choose to do?
The ability to cause others to behave as they might not otherwise choose to do is manipulation.
What is bioculture?
A combination of culture and genetic area which affect how humans behave.
The study of how people or firms behave in strategic situation is called?
game theory
What chemical characteristics do elements in a group share?
Elements of the same group generally share the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outer energy level only. These are the electrons that participate in a chemical reaction, so elements in the same group behave similarly in chemical reactions, which makes predictions and generalizations possible.
Why do elements in a group all behave similarly?
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.
What property of isotopes allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions?
Radiotracers have the same chemical properties to the stable isotopes of an element.
Which elements are most likely to react in the same manner in a chemical reaction?
A pair of elements in the same group are more likely to have similar properties. This is why groups are also called families. In the main group elements, groups 1,2, 13-18, the elements in a group have the same numbers of valence electrons in their outermost energy levels. This accounts for the fact that they behave in a similar matter in chemical reactions.
How do elements in a period behave?
bad
How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?
they can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So depending on the conditions these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals
What do you mean by the Elements behavior?
the elements all behave differently an elements behaviors are what happens when they are reacted upon
Can a chemical behave as an acid and a base?
yes.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
Who makes the rules for how members of Congress behave?
The Senate
Why chemical reaction happen?
Basically it just has to do with how the electrons orbiting the atoms in the molecules prefer to behave. Add: Reactions generally happen in order to cause the electrons to reach a lower, more stable energy state.
