Elements within the same group of the periodic table behave similarly because they have the same number of ?

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)

The reaction between $m_{2}SO_{4}$ with calcium chloride can be shown as- $m_{2}SO_{4}$ + $CaCl_{2}$ → $CaSO_{4}$ ↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of $CaSO_{4}$ is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 moles $m_{2}SO_{4}$ to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of calcium sulfate.
