Why are elements in their families?
elements are grouped together into families as they have simliar properties. all the elements in each collum or period have imilar chamical properties.
Why are elements on the periodic table called families?
Each family of elements has its own set of characteristics that each of the elements possess.
What is each column in the periodic table called how many of them are there?
The columns represent groups or families of elements. There are 18 of them.
WHEN DO ELEMENTS DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER?
The difference is made by the number of protons, specifi for each element.
What does a chemical compound formula tell you?
It tells what elements are present in a molecule and how many atoms of each element are present.

What is the difference between the representative elements and the transition elements?
The elements in group 1 and 2 are the representative elements. Groups 3 through 12 are the transition elements. Transition elements are all metals and are found less noticably than they do across a period of representative elements. representative elements are always found in nature combined with other elements, they are all metals except for hydrogen.
Is true about the electron configurations of the representative elements?
Each neutral atom has a specific electron cofiguration.
What is the difference between a districts representative and a senator?
The difference between a district representative and a senator is the pay scale. A senator would get paid more. There is also a difference in the number of constituents for each. A senator represents an entire state, and a district representative only represents a part of the state.
What is each column in the periodic table called how many of them are there?
The columns represent groups or families of elements. There are 18 of them.
What two families of elements react easily with each other to form compounds?
Alkali metals and halogens.
Why are group A elements called Representative elements?
They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
WHEN DO ELEMENTS DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER?
The difference is made by the number of protons, specifi for each element.
What are the elements in groups 1A to 8A called?
The elements in groups 1A to 8A are called the representative elements or main group elements. Each group corresponds to a specific column on the periodic table and has similar chemical properties due to their electron configurations.
There are seven families included in the periodic table?
Not families, Periods (Apex)
