well they have many useful properties. one of them is that they can sing and the other is they can dance.:)
By grouping the elements according to atomic structure, the Periodic Table indicates which elements are likely to have similar properties, or similar reactions with other elements and compounds. The three subdivisions of the Table are :Groups : The vertical columns include elements with similar chemical properties e.g. alkali metals.Periods : The horizontal rows include elements with the same number of electron shells (energy levels).Blocks : Adjacent groups of elements where the same subshell contains the last electron.
The elements in the periodic table are arranged so that there is an increase from left to right (such as atomic radius) and from up to down (such as atomic weight). The elements that have somehow similar properties (not always, mind you) are arranged in families (or columns, as you unappropriately name them).Hope this is useful.

I believe it is Metals. If I may be wrong, please improve...
Characteristics properties
Even though 3 does not seem like a transition metal, elements 3-12 are all transition metals.
zinc and chromium
So you can classify the elements into groups.

elements
Almost all elements have some properties which are useful and so they can be used for that purpose.
Its transparent (see through).

Nope, bases actually gives soaps their useful properties.
Scientists classify minerals, so they can make it easy for them to study. They sort them into groups or sections. Classifying is a way of creating a new knowledge. Rocks or minerals can be also classified by their properties and how they form.
well, the periodic table is very useful because you have the atomic number, atomic mass, and even the trends across a period or down a group.
