In the periodic table , all the elements are arranged according to the atomic number ,

and the elements are placed in groups and periods ,

The elements with similar chemical and physical properties are placed in a common group .

The elements present in the same group have the same number of valence electrons in the valence shell .

Hence , from the given options ,
