Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. In the periodic table, elements grouped together are called families. They share similar chemical properties.
  2. When atoms lose one or more electrons, they become positively - charged ions. Protons are sub - atomic particles in the nucleus, neutrons are also sub - atomic particles in the nucleus, and the nucleus is the central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons.

Answer:

  1. B. Families
  2. D. Ions
