The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?
A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.
B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.
D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.
Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
Explanation:
Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.
Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.
The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.
Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.
Answer:
Calcium is more reactive than magnesium because calcium atom is larger than magnesium atom and it has one more energy level. ... Thus Ca is more reactive than Mg.

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?
A) 1 < 2 < 3
B) 2 < 3 < 1
C) 3 < 1 < 2
D) 1 < 3 < 2
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>
The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>
Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.
A carbonyl compound is a 
hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.
In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
