Question
elements in the same group will have the same number of
energy levels
core electrons
valence electrons
In the periodic table, elements in the same group (vertical column) share similar chemical properties. This similarity is due to having the same number of valence electrons (outer - shell electrons). Valence electrons are crucial for chemical bonding. Energy levels (related to periods, horizontal rows) and core electrons (inner - shell electrons that are not involved in bonding as directly) do not determine group - based similarities in the same way.
