In general, which properties are common to elements within a single group on the periodic table?

Almost all properties are common to elements within a single group on the periodic table. They react with water in the same way, they have the same number of valence electrons thereby having the same valency, the number of shells in the atom of the element increases by one as we move down the group. 

In general, they have the same chemical properties as chemical properties depend on the number of electrons in the valence shell i.e. the outermost shell in the atom of an element. 

I'm not sure but i will try to find out

The dispersed phase is liquid and dispersed medium in milk is liquid
