In the Periodic Table, periods are the rows of the table, and groups are the columns of the table. All the elements on a column (group) have similar properties such as similar reactivity due to the fact that they have same valence shell electron configurations. meaning that the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of all these elements are the same. Rows show the number of electron shells around that element ( Bohr theory), or in advance term, it represents the principle quantum number, which is the total number of energy packets around the atom.

Why are the groups on the periodic table also called families?
Groups on the periodic table are called families because elements within the same group share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. This similarity in properties is what defines them as a family.
