Abstract

The elements of groups IIIb, IVb, and Vb show a wide variety of properties, and there are fewer useful family relationships within groups than in the s-block. By the time we reach the other end of the periods, with groups VIb (the chalcogens), VIIb (the halogens), and VIIIb (the noble gases) family relationships become more marked again.
