None of the given statements are completely true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Family or groups in "periodic table" are 18 in number which represents column in table. As we go down in a family or group in the "periodic table"-the atom size become bigger and bigger. Non-Metals are less reactive which mostly lie in p-block. "Metals" are ""ore reactive" in "s-block". The atom’s valence electrons remain same for example when we go down in alkali metals in s-block the valence electron is one only and in alkaline earth metals its two only.
