Write an Explanation.

Group

Explain
Advertisements

Solution

In the modern periodic table, a group is a vertical column of elements. All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar chemical properties and valency. As we move down a group, the number of shells increases, leading to a gradual change in physical properties such as atomic size and metallic character, while chemical properties remain similar.
