Question

Elements in the same group/family of the periodic table are similar in what way?

a.they are all metals
b.they are all nonmetals
c.they have a full outer shell of electrons. eliminate
d.they have the same number of valence electrons.

Answer 1

The Correct Answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

They have the same number of valence electrons.

Answer 2

D. They have the same number of valence electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

• The periodic table arranges elements into rows known as periods and columns known as groups or families.
• Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
• Additionally, they have the same number of valence electrons. For example, elements in group I have one valence electrons while those in group II have two valence electrons.
• Elements in the same period share similar features such as having the same number of energy levels. For example elements in period 4 have four energy levels.
