Question
Why do elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties?
✓
Answer
The physical and chemical properties of elements depend on the number of valence electrons. Elements present in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Therefore, elements present in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.
