What properties of what do we need to do????

Ms what does it means by properties?

MsWiens said...

Properties are like characteristics that are common to all the elements in that group.

Things like Noble gases are non-reactive, Alkali metals are very reactive, especially with water, that sort of thing. All the Noble gases are gases. All the alkali metals are soft metallic solids. Use google type what you want (ex transition metals) and type the word properties or characterisitics and you should get a bunch, then do the same for the others.
