Best Answer

An atom's "group" is its column position in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.

How sound waves is transmitted?

Sound is basically a pressure wave - a group of atoms has a higher pressure, pushes another group of atoms, which in turn continue pushing against other atoms, thus transmitting the pressure. You can also think of it as one atom (or group of atoms) bumping into the next.
