Families
A vertical column is called a 'group.' A horizontal row is called a 'period,' thus the periodic table.
A group is vertical column. There are 18 groups in periodic table.
Yes, it is.
groups or families
A column in the periodic table is a vertical group of elements that share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. These columns are known as groups or families, and there are 18 groups in the periodic table.
Vertical columns are known as groups.
Each vertical column in the periodic table is called a group. Elements within the same group share similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations. There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.
In the periodic table a group is equivalent to a column.
The vertical column in a periodic table is called "The Group" and there are 8 groups in the periodic table, I through O or VIII.They are called Groups or sometimes Families. For many the periodic table has 8 groups but when you also include the transition metals, then there are 18 groups which gives you a better understanding when you are working out the electron arrangement within the atom's structure.
They are the vertical columns on the Periodic Table. Each column (top to bottom) is considered to be a group or family.
The horizontal row on the periodic table is called the "period". The vertical column is called the "group".
A group in the periodic table is a column of elements that share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons in their outer energy level. Groups are vertical columns and are numbered from 1 to 18.
