In the older Periodic Table, each group was divided into A & B sub-groups. The only problem with that was that there were two different conventions about which elements were labelled "A" and which were labelled "B". Groups 1 & 2 were clearly 'A' (elements like sodium and calcium) and 11 & 12 were clearly 'B' (elements like copper and zinc). But groups 3 through 10 were labelled 'A' in one convention and 'B' in another, and the opposite labels were used for groups 13 through 18.
With the second labelling convention, groups labelled 'A' were known as 'main group elements', and groups labelled 'B' were 'transition metals', and that is still the case.
Thus in the newer IUPAC scheme, groups 1, 2, and 13 through 18 are called 'main group elements'.
In the old numbering system, "A" simply refered to the the left side of the table. Group IA,IA are alkali metals.
The alkali metals.
the vertical column is called group in the periodic table.
It is called an elemental group.
Group or familyThis is group 1, the alkali metals
In the periodic table a group is equivalent to a column.
The column of the periodic table is called group. It is also referred as family.
the vertical column is called group in the periodic table.
the vertical columns in a periodic table are called groups.
It is called an elemental group.

In the periodic table a group is equivalent to a column.
The column of the periodic table is called group. It is also referred as family.
A column is known as a group in periodic table. There are 18 groups in the modern setting of periodic table. Elements in the same group usually share same chemical properties and striking physical characteristic trends.
There is no group 17.

The horizontal row on the periodic table is called the "period". The vertical column is called the "group".
