in the same group( family) have the same electronic configuration

No, elements in the same column are in the same family.
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
No, on the periodic table of elements a family is a group of elements that are in the same row.Answered by Faustin Obedi
Elements in the same family (or group) have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells.
A family of elements (Or Chemical Family) is used to describe a group of related elements. For example, copper, silver, and gold all belong to the same chemical family. These 3 elements are often referred to as the coinage metals. These elements share several common properties.
No, elements in the same column are in the same family.
According to Chemists, the elements of sodium and chlorine belong to the same atomic family as well as carbon and lead.
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
a family
elements in the same column are in the same group or family. the rows in the Periodic Table are called periods
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements

Elements in the same family are related because of shared properties. For example, all the elements in the noble gas family do not react to anything and are colorless, nonflammable, odorless, and tasteless under normal circumstances.
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
Elements in the same family, or group will contain the same number of valence electrons and have many similar characteristics.
Elements in a family or group of main group elements share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. This leads to comparable reactivity and the ability to form similar types of chemical bonds with other elements. Additionally, elements in the same group often show trends in physical properties such as atomic size and ionization energy.
