Step 1
1 of 2

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Having the same valence electrons indicate the chemical behavior and affinity of the elements with other elements or their ability to form bonds. The elements that have 8 valence electrons (in group 18) are the most stable while the elements that have 1 valence electron (group 1) is the most reactive.
