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.
Isotopes of same element has different number of neutrons with different masses and having same number of protons and electrons.
Radioactive isotopes are those isotopes which are radioactive in nature. The unstable nucleus results in the radioactivity process and this process will go on until the stable isotope (element) forms.
Thus, the nucleus of unstable isotopes of an element will decay leading to emission of radiation.
Answer:
The net ionic equation for the given reaction :
Explanation:
...[1]
..[2]
...[3]
Replacing 
, NaI and 
in [1] by usig [2] [3] and [4]
Removing the common ions present ion both the sides, we get the net ionic equation for the given reaction [1]:
