What are the groups on the periodic table called?
The groups in the Periodic table are also called Families because;. The elements lying in the same group have same number of valence electrons, which results in their similar properties (like similar habits of all the family members.)
What are the 8 groups in periodic table?
- The Alkali Metals.
- The Alkaline Earth Metals.
- The Transition Metals.
- The Metalloids.
- Other Metals.
- The Non-metals.
- The Halogens.
- The Noble Gases.
What are the group numbers on the periodic table?
The group number tells you the total number of electrons present in the outermost orbit of an atom. In other words, group number tells you the number of valence electrons of an atom. Let us consider group 1 of the Periodic table. Group 1 indicates that the elements lying in that group have only 1 electron in its outermost orbit.
What are the groups and families on the periodic table?
Groups: The vertical column of the periodic table signifies the number of valence electrons in an element. Periods: The horizontal rows in a periodic table indicate the number of electron shells in an element. Families: Elements that have the same number of valence electrons and therefore similar properties.

What is Group 12 called in the periodic table?
zinc group element, any of the four chemical elements that constitute Group 12 (IIb) of the periodic table—namely, zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and copernicium (Cn).
What is group 8 on the periodic table called?
the noble gasesGroup 8A (or VIIIA) of the periodic table are the noble gases or inert gases: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). The name comes from the fact that these elements are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds.
What are the 10 non metals?
The 17 nonmetal elements are: hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, selenium, bromine, krypton, iodine, xenon, and radon.

What are the Group 2 elements called?
alkaline earth metalsGroup 2A (or IIA) of the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals: beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).
What is the color of Group 10 metals?
Group 10 metals are white to light grey in color, and possess a high luster, a resistance to tarnish ( oxidation) at STP, are highly ductile, and enter into oxidation states of +2 and +4, with +1 being seen in special conditions.
Is Darmstadtium a pure metal?
Darmstadtium has not been isolated in pure form, and its properties have not been conclusively observed; only nickel, palladium, and platinum have had their properties experimentally confirmed. All three elements are typical silvery-white transition metals, hard, and refractory, with high melting and boiling points.
Notes
There is considerable confusion surrounding the Group labels. The scheme used in WebElements is numeric and is the current IUPAC convention. The other two systems are less desirable since they are confusing, but still in common usage. The designations A and B are completely arbitrary.

Overview
Group 10, numbered by current IUPAC style, is the group of chemical elements in the periodic table that consists of nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and perhaps also the chemically uncharacterized darmstadtium (Ds). All are d-block transition metals. All known isotopes of darmstadtium are radioactive with short half-lives, and are not known to occur in nature; only minute quantities have be…
Properties
Group 10 metals are white to light grey in color, and possess a high luster, a resistance to tarnish (oxidation) at STP, are highly ductile, and enter into oxidation states of +2 and +4, with +1 being seen in special conditions. The existence of a +3 state is debated, as the state could be an illusory state created by +2 and +4 states. Theory suggests that group 10 metals may produce a +6 oxidation state under precise conditions, but this remains to be proven conclusively in the labora…
Occurrence and production
Nickel occurs naturally in ores, and it is the earth's 22nd most abundant element. Two prominent groups of ores from which it can be extracted are laterites and sulfide ores. Indonesia holds the world's largest nickel reserve, and is also its largest producer.
Applications
The group 10 metals share several uses. These include:
• Decorative purposes, in the form of jewelry and electroplating.
• Catalysts in a variety of chemical reactions.
• Metal alloys.
Biological role and toxicity
Nickel has an important role in the biochemistry of organisms, as part of the active center of enzymes. None of the other group 10 elements have a known biological role, but platinum compounds have widely been used as anticancer drugs.
