Vertical columns are referred as groups. They are also called families.
no fixed limit
the vertical columns are known as groups
colums are called "families" or "groups". They are all placed in order according to the atomic number, and valend electrons
Groups of the Periodic Table are defined as vertical colums. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.
Elements with the same number of valence electrons are in the same group (or vertical column).
It arranges all known elements in a chart of rows and colums of increasing atomic number.
The element in a given vertical column (or groups) have the same number of valence electrons and hence have similar properties.
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
It is named The PERIODIC TABLE. The periods being the horizontal rows The groups being the vertical columns.
Periodic table comprises of rows and columns like in an organised manner. Hence, it is called a table.
The rows in the periodic table are called periods. There are 7 periods in periodic table.
