Which family/group does the element neon belong to.
Group 18. The noble gases, also called the inert gases although some do form a few compounds.
I believe the noble gas group or Group O. Hopefully someone can verify that. I apologize if that is wrong.
Group 0 or group 18 depending upon which system one uses. Either is correct.
The element neon belongs to the noble gases family/group in the periodic table. Noble gases are a group of elements characterized by their low reactivity and tendency to exist as single atoms rather than forming compounds with other elements.
To find the family/group of an element in the periodic table, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the element on the periodic table. Neon, in this case, is located in the 2nd row (period) and in the 18th column (group).
2. Start from the element and move horizontally to the left until you reach the column labeled "1." This is where the alkali metals family/group starts.
3. Move horizontally to the right until you reach the column labeled "2." This is where the alkaline earth metals family/group starts.
4. Continue moving to the right until you reach the column labeled "18." This is where the noble gases family/group starts.
5. Therefore, if the element is located in the column labeled "18," like neon, it belongs to the noble gases family/group.
By following these steps, you can determine the family/group of any element in the periodic table.
