Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?
A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.
B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.
D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Elements in the same family have a similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons this statement is true about elements on a periodic table in the same group.

Hence, Option (B) is correct answer.

What is Groups and Periods in Periodic Table ?

In periodic table there are 18 vertical column which is called groups which are arranged from left to right in the periodic table. In periodic table there are 7 horizontal rows which is called periods.

Elements in the same family or group have a similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. In group one all the alkali metals have one valence electrons in the outermost shell.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Elements in the same family have a similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons this statement is true about elements on a periodic table in the same group.

Hence, Option (B) is correct answer.
