Question

A. If you have a Periodic Table that is NOT color-coded describe where to look on the periodic table to to find elements which have similar chemical properties.

B. Explain why they have similar chemical properties.

C. Name three elements that have those similarities.

(I need a written paragraph please)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Periodic table is beautifully arranged to place elements with similar chemical properties together. A family or a group is a vertical column in periodic table that has elements with similar property.

B. They all have similar properties because they all have the same number of valence electrons that determine the chemical properties such as reactivity of the element.

C. Lithium, sodium, potassium all fall in group 1 called alkali metals and these elements all share the property of being some of the most reactive elements.
