They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
For example the elements from the group 1 of the periodic table.
They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
The columns of the periodic table are called groups.
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

Vertical columns.

They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
To determine the number of valence electrons on the periodic table you look at columns 1,2 and 13-18. For columns 13-18 you just need to subtract ten from column number. For example, column 13 elements have 3 valence electrons. Most chemistry courses avoid the transition elements but you only need to consider the outer orbital of electrons.
The columns of the periodic table are called groups.
The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups. The table is arranged in such a way that all elements in the same group are similar and have the same number of valence electrons.
Group 16 because on the periodic table, there are different columns that represent a greater or lesser amount of valence electrons; and group 16 has the amount of 6 valence electrons.
If you mean group then your referring to the columns of the periodic table. They will all have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical and sometimes physical properties.
