Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties. Please select the best answer from the choices provided

The Periodic Table is arranged so the members of the same group have the same number of electrons in their outermost layer, called valence electrons. So, atoms having the same number will tend to react the same way, and since elements having the same number are arranged in groups, groups tend to have the same properties.

SO, TRUE

SORRY if i'm wrong

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table do not have the same number of neutrons. They have the same number of electrons in the valence shell. This explains partially its chemical reactivity. For instance, halogens (elements in the Group 17) have 7 valence electrons so they tend to gain 1 electron to complete the octet in the valence shell.

The statement "Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties." is False
