The elements of a group have similar chemical properties but in a period they have different chemical properties. For example, Sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium, and caesium have similar chemical properties.

 
Therefore, Elements with similar chemical properties have (D) the same number of electrons in an outermost shell as the elements in the same group only have the same number of electrons in the outermost shell.
 
Hence, the correct option is D
