Here, we are asked to identify if the statement is True and if not we need to correct it.

The statement said that the family of elements is also the period of elements. This is not True. The truth is that the Family and period are different from each other. The family if the vertical columns in the Periodic table. While, the period is the horizontal rows. Knowing that both of them are different, let us also consider their significance.

A family of elements is also known as groups of elements. This indicates that the elements included in a certain family has the same number of valence electron and they also have similar chemical and physical characteristics. For the period, it shows that there is an increasing number of orbitals and electrons of the elements.

Therefore, the statement is false. It should be written as "The family of elements is different from the Period of elements in the Periodic table".
