Describe how the properties of elements in the same group differ to the properties of elements in the same period.

All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell.

All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.

Explanation:

Same group elements have the same physical properties and same elements in period have same chemical properties

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
