A family (or group) is one column of elements in the periodic table of elements. For example, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium form one family.
Please see the link.
Two families ?? Calcium is an alkaline earth metal; located in group 2 and period 4 in the periodic table of Mendeleev.
nonmetals
Vertical groups are families. Bonding power is based upon the type of bond, the position of element in periodic table.
Well, giving the example of Bromine (1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p5) the s orbitals (represented by the letter s) are the first two groups/families (1-2) with the exception of helium, the p orbitals (represented by the letter p) are the last six groups/families (13-18), and the d orbitals (represented by the letter d) are the transition metals (3-12). Not included in bromine are the f orbitals (elements 57-70 and 89-102)
The element cadmium is above mercury in the periodic table. And above cadmium is the element zinc. They're similar. Use the link below to see the Wikipedia periodic table. It's an interactive table, and each element is a link to the Wikipedia post on that element. Bookmark this table, friends. It's a great homework and reference tool!Those two elements (Cd and Zn) are similar to Hg because they are in the same group/family. Elements that are grouped into families are done so because they are have similar characteristics.
The Boron Family
It can tell you crtain characteristics of that element.
There are two different ways of grouping element families, one with 5 families and one with 9. Of the 9-family set, gold is in the Transition metals set.
A nuclear family consists of a mother, father, and kids.
It depends on what elements the shell contains.
families
Not families, Periods (Apex)
because without the chemical families there would not be chemicals linked together to know what chemicals make diffrent chemicals and that means chemical+ chemical = element PS . im only 11 yrs old and i know this
Two families ?? Calcium is an alkaline earth metal; located in group 2 and period 4 in the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Group nine to eighteen (B-Families) of 'd' and 'f' blocks of periodic table are transition elements.
nonmetals
Semiconductors are located in groups 13-16 of the periodic table, which is different from the location of other element families like metals and nonmetals. Semiconductors have an intermediate conductivity compared to metals and nonmetals, making them important for electronics. Their position on the periodic table gives them unique properties related to their electronic structure and bonding abilities.
