how many electrons it has in its valence shell
usually also some of the characteristics... eg. alkali metals vs. noble gases etc.
The group number tells you the number of valence electrons. In a sense, this also tells you much about how it will react and how it may form compounds with other elements.

We can estimate the chemical properties of this element.
The answer is : Predict Its Properties
In the older versions of the periodic table, group VIIA corresponds to the current group 17, the halogens.
The groups in the periodic table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in.
The number of Electrons is always the same as the number of Protons.The number of Protons is the "Atomic Number" in the Periodic Table.The element with Atomic Number 7 is Nitrogen (N).Nitrogen is at the top of Group 15 in the Periodic Table.See related link below.
By the group number of the A columns
The number of valence electrons in an element is represented by the group number; for example, all elements in group one have one valence electron, all elements in group two have two valence electrons, etc.
They determine many things. They can be used to predice hybridization, determine octet, be used to assign formal charges. The simplest answer would be for a intro to chem class, they determine the number of electrons in the atom's "outer ring"
Yes, look at the periodic table
-An element is placed in that group of periodic whose group number is equal to the number of valence electrons.
The group number is an identifier used to describe the column of the standard Periodic Table in which the element appears.
In the older versions of the periodic table, group VIIA corresponds to the current group 17, the halogens.
The groups in the periodic table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in.
groups are important in the periodic table because from them we get to know about the chemical and the physical property of an element. we also get to know about the number of electrons in the outer most shell.
the Atomic number on Periodic Table is the identity of an element in the table , it gives the indications about Group, period and Block of elements it also predicts the chemical and physical properties of the element.
the valence electrons cause the chemical reations. the valence electrons decide that element attract to which element.
A group in Periodic Table is the column of element in periodic table
There is no Group 15 - however, element number 15 - Phosphorus - is in the periodic tables' Group V A.
The number of Electrons is always the same as the number of Protons.The number of Protons is the "Atomic Number" in the Periodic Table.The element with Atomic Number 7 is Nitrogen (N).Nitrogen is at the top of Group 15 in the Periodic Table.See related link below.
