That is a silly answer, not meant to be helpful; meant to be annoying and show ignorance. Elements are "grouped" in 18 (vertical) columns or "families". Without getting too complicated, the "grouping" indicates that all elements in that same group or family share similar chemical or physical characteristics - just as members of the same "human family" do . . . . resemble each other.
