The generic term for columns in a Periodic Table is "groups". Many of the groups have specific names, but you'd have to be more descriptive than "tall" for me to be more specific.
The two tallest columns on most tables are the ones the alkali metals are in and the one the noble gases are in. Hydrogen is at the top of the alkali metal group, though hydrogen itself is not considered an alkali metal. Helium is at the top of the noble gas group, and helium IS a noble gas.
More notes: The column next to the alkali metals with beryllium at the top is the alkaline earth group. The column next to the noble gases starting with fluorine is called the halogens. The column starting with oxygen is the chalcogens, though that term is not nearly as widely used or recognized as the other groups that have been mentioned already. The names for the other groups are so obscure, even among chemists, that you're better off just calling them the element-at-the-top group (for example, "nitrogen group") unless you're deliberately trying to confuse people.
What else can I help you with?
What is a chart that lists all the known elements?
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
What is the name of the table of elements?
It is named The PERIODIC TABLE. The periods being the horizontal rows The groups being the vertical columns.
What is the document in which elements are organized by their properties called?
The Periodic Table of the Elements, sometimes called just the Periodic Table, is the document in which elements are organized by their properties. It was created in 1869.
On the periodic tabel what is a columb of elements called?
On the periodic table the elements are called groups.
A chart of the elements showing the repeating pattern of their properties is called the?
the periodic table.
How is the periodic table is organized into columns called?
The elements arranged according to their atomic number in the table are called periodic table.
What are the different rows of elements in the periodic table called?
The rows of elements in the periodic table are called periods. There are a total of 7 periods in the periodic table, each representing a different energy level or shell in which the elements' electrons are arranged.
How are the elements arranged?
Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. This arrangement groups elements with similar properties in columns called groups or families, while elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
Who was the scientist that organized the elements into a table that you use today and what was the table called?
i don't know the scientist but it is the periodic table of the elements
What is the name of the raw of elements in the periodic table?
A row on the periodic table is called a period.
What is pattern of repeating properties of elements revealed in the periodic table called?
The pattern of repeating properties of elements in the periodic table is called periodicity. This periodicity arises from the similar electronic structure and arrangements of elements within the table.
What are chemicals in the periodic table called?
Elements
