No. Although two such atoms are essentially chemically identical (they will chemically react in the same way), they are not completely identical.
Explanation:
Elements in the same group have same number of valence electrons. And we know, the elements which have same number of valence electrons, have similar physical and chemical properties. Hence, the elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.

Explanation:
- When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-
⇄ 
Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid, 
- The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
- The acid dissociation constant can be given by -
= ![\dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
- The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -
⇄ ![[H_3O^+] [A^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%20%5BA%5E-%5D)
- Then the dissociation constant will be
= ![\dfrac{[H_3O^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
Here,
is the dissociation constant of an acid.
