Answer:

A: Elements in the same group share the same number of valence electrons.

D: Elements in the same group share the same reactive properties.

Explanation:

A periodic group is simply the arrangement of elements vertically on the periodic table.

There are about 8 main groups of elements on the periodic table.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. This is usually observed  in their group numbers.
  • Due to this, they all share the same chemical properties which makes them react the same way.
  • Usually, the number of atoms shell increases down the group.
  • Across a period, elements share the same number of orbitals in their structure.
  • No two elements on the periodic table shares the same number of total electrons.
