A family in the periodic table refers to elements in the same column, and they're like siblings with similar traits! For example, Group 1 elements are all alkali metals.
It's the vertical column! Elements in the same family (or group) have similar chemical properties. Chemistry's version of family reunions!
Families in the periodic table are vertical columns where elements have similar properties, like the noble gases in Group 18. They鈥檙e like your weird but loveable uncles and aunts.
Just a column! All the elements in a family share similar characteristics like the Halogens or Alkaline Earth Metals. Easy peasy.
