Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons that are used in chemical reactions.
No, the number and location of atomic mass units do not determine the kinds of chemical reactions an atom may undergo. It is the number and arrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell that determine its chemical reactivity. The outer shell electron configuration is what influences how atoms interact with other atoms to form chemical bonds.
True. A pure compound can be broken down into two or more different kinds of pure elements through chemical reactions. These elements can then exist independently and have their own unique properties.
When group 1 elements (such as lithium, sodium, potassium) react with nonmetal elements, they typically form ionic compounds. These compounds consist of a metal cation from the group 1 element and a nonmetal anion, resulting in salts like lithium chloride (LiCl), sodium fluoride (NaF), or potassium iodide (KI).
The particles in a pure substance are all "identical".
Elements like gold, silver, and platinum are examples of matter that cannot be converted into simpler substances through ordinary chemical reactions. They consist of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler components by chemical means.
All the elements in the periodic table of elements are electrically neutral; they do not have charges as elements, although they have the potential to engage in chemical reactions that will turn them into charged ions, in most cases. The different groups tell you what kinds of chemical reactions the elements are capable of, not what kind of charge they have.
Groups, in the periodic table of elements, are elements that all have the same number of valance electrons, which in turn tells us a lot about the kinds of chemical reactions that these elements will or will not undergo.
In and of itself, no. However, some substances, when mixed, will undergo chemical reactions, which may either absorb or release heat.
No, the number and location of atomic mass units do not determine the kinds of chemical reactions an atom may undergo. It is the number and arrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell that determine its chemical reactivity.

which group? She worked in the lab where she found radioactive elements
Electron transfer reactions. reactions involving losing and gaining electrons
The 3 kinds of elements are metal, non-metals, and metalloids.
True. A pure compound can be broken down into two or more different kinds of pure elements through chemical reactions. These elements can then exist independently and have their own unique properties.
On the Periodic Table there are the following Groups: Group 1 - Alkali Metals Group 2 - Alkaline Earth Metals Transition Metals - Including Lanthanides and Actinides Post Transition Metals Metalloids Other Non Metals Group 7 - Halogens Group 0 - Inert Gases
Bonds are broken by rearrangement of electrons, and then new bonds are made, again by rearrangement (sharing, donating, etc) of electrons.
Elements can be combined in several different ways. Elements which undergo no chemical reactions when combined are called mixtures. Normally, the elements in a mixture retain their original properties, but metals can be combined into mixtures called alloys to produced new properties, though these properties tend to be the intermediate sum of the collective properties of the metals involved. Elements which combine chemically to produce entirely new substances are called chemical compounds.
