If they are in the same group, they are most likely to have simalar properties as opposed to the elements from another group.
If they are in group 1 for example, they would find it easier to lose 1 electron.
If they are in group 2, they would find it easier to lose 2 electrons.
Elements like to have a full outershell of electrons.

Those 3 elements either want to gain or lose an electron depending on if they're a non-metal(gain) or metal(lose) and how close they are to the nearest noble gases.
