Same number of valence electrons
Explanation:
Two elements posses similar chemical properties if they have the same number of valence electrons.
Chemical properties of any substance is determined by the number of valence electrons it possesses in its outer most shell.
Elements use their valence electrons to form chemical bonds with one another.
Elements with the same number of valence electrons will chemically combine the same way.
This is why elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same chemical properties.

They have a sea of delocalised electrons which are free to move therefore they can carry a current
The molar mass of a substance/chemical is the mass of the sample substance divided by the amount of substance in that sample.
Explanation:
- In order to calculate the atomic mass of a substance we first obtain the atomic weight of the substance from the periodic table.
- Then we count the number of atoms of the substance and multiply it with the individual atomic mass.
Molar mass of Citric Acid ( H3C6H5O7) is 192.1235 g/mol
It is calculated as :
Molar mass of C₆H₈O₇ = 6(atomic mass of C) + 8(atomic mass of H) + 7(atomic mass of O) = 6(12.0 g/mol) + 8(1.0 g/mol) + 7(16.0 g/mol) = 192.0 g/mol.
Molar mass of baking soda (NaHCO₃) is 84.0 g/mol
Molar mass of NaHCO₃ = (atomic mass of Na) + (atomic mass of H) + (atomic mass of C) + 3(atomic mass of O) = (23.0 g/mol) + (1.0 g/mol) + (12.0 g/mol) + 3(16.0 g/mol) = 84.0 g/mol.
