Question

Do elements with the same combining capacity have the same chemical properties?

Answer 1

Depends, what exactly do you mean?

Answer 2

Well I mean if the combining capacity of two elements is the same like Be and Mg. Will they have the same chemical properties?

Answer 3

Answer 4

@dtan5457 ?

Answer 5

Not always, it could be an isotope with the same combining capacity but different chemical properties.

Answer 6

No I am in grade 11, in this topic I am not using isotopes, so regardless of isotopes, can my statement be true?

Answer 7

Well, yes, kinda, if we don't consider the existence of isotopes. :D

Answer 8

Yes, and also they are in the same group or family. This is another part of information! :D

Answer 9

Oooh... Why didn't you say that from the beginning! :D

Answer 10

Hahaha I forgot! Thank you for your help! :)

Answer 11

For example, the Alkali metals, they all have similar chemical properties, but slightly different combining capacity.

Answer 12

Exactly! They are all reactive since they have only one valence electron in outer shell. Ok got to go. Thx

Answer 13

When you go down the row-Li-Na-K-Rb-Cs-Fr, The elements are changing from weak to strong, I mean, they react faster and much more violently.

Answer 14

row... omg, Column, not a row :D

Answer 15
