Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the properties of elements within the same group

Elements within the same group in the periodic table share certain properties due to their similar electron configurations. These properties include reactivity with other elements and common oxidation state.

Step 2: Evaluate each property

Physical state: Elements in the same group can have different physical states (e.g., Group 17 contains gases like chlorine and solids like iodine).
Atomic mass: Atomic mass increases down a group, so it is not the same for all elements in a group.
Reactivity with other elements: Elements in the same group often have similar reactivity due to similar valence electron configurations.
Common oxidation state: Elements in the same group typically exhibit the same or similar oxidation states.
