Why is Group 14 called the carbon family?
The carbon family is also called the carbon group, group 14, or group IV. At one time, this family was called the tetrels or tetragens because the elements belonged to group IV or as a reference to the four valence electrons of atoms of these elements. The family is also called the crystallogens.
What are the 5 families on the periodic table?
Families on the periodic table include, in addition to noble gases and halogens, the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides.
What is a family of elements called?
The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
Which two families are soft and silvery and have low densities?
The Alkaline Earth Metals are members of Group 2 of the periodic table. They include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). The Alkaline Earth Metals are silvery colored, soft, low density metals.

| 32 Ge 72.59 |
| 33 As 74.92 |

Why are there 32 elements in 6th period?
In the 6th period, electrons can be filled in only 6s, 4f, 5d, and 6p subshells. Thus, 16 orbitals can accommodate a maximum of 32 electrons. Hence, the sixth period of the periodic table should have 32 elements.
