Question
On the basis of electronic configuration, how will you identify chemically similar elements?
Solution
Elements having the same number of valence electrons in their atoms will be chemically similar because the chemical properties of an element depend on the number of electrons present in the outermost shell (valence electrons) of an atom of the element.
