The vertical columns are called groups; at one time it was common to use Roman numerals to describe the groups of elements, but now the preferred usage is standard numbers.
The groups also have names, in some cases for individual groups and in other cases for a block of groups.
Group 1 is called the Alkali Metals, the most active metals
Group 2 is called the Alkaline Earth Metals
Groups 3-12 are called the Transition Metals, and include some of our most useful metallic elements.
Groups 13-16 are the PMN Elements (Post-Transition Metals, Metalloids and Non-metals - metals are near the bottom, non-metals are near the top - a complex block)
Group 17 is the Halogens, the most active non-metals
Group 18 is the Noble Gases, the least active non-metals
The two rows of elements usually displayed at the very bottom of a Periodic Table are called the Lanthanides and Actinides, and they fit into the periodic table between Group2 and Group 3. So we might call the Lanthanides and Actinides Group 2.5

What family on the periodic table does glucose belong to?
Only individual elements have a place on the periodic table, but glucose is composed of three different elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, so it doesn't belong anywhere on the table.
The illustrated arrangement of the elements and their atomic properties is summarized in the?
Periodic Table
What are the verical colums on the periodic table called?
Vertical columns are referred as groups. They are also called families.
How many grops are there in the periodic table?
Groups of the Periodic Table are defined as vertical colums. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.
How many colums are on the periodic table?
no fixed limit
What are colums in a periodic table?
the vertical columns are known as groups
What are the verticle columns on the periodic table?
A Group/ Family ;)
What are columns called in a periodic table and what do they have in common?
colums are called "families" or "groups". They are all placed in order according to the atomic number, and valend electrons
How are elements catagorized in the periodic table?
The periodic table is organized in rows and colums called periods and groups. each period in the table helps correspond to the filling of a configuration of the outermost electron shells of their atoms.
What elements belong to the s-block of the periodic table?
Elements in group no.(verticle) 1&2
What elements from this section of the periodic table all belong to the same?
Elements with the same number of valence electrons are in the same group (or vertical column).
Why is the periodic table such an important tool?
It arranges all known elements in a chart of rows and colums of increasing atomic number.
A verticle column in the periodic table?
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, a column (group) contains all elements that exist with the group number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom of that element.
What is the name of the table of elements?
A Periodic table The Periodic Table of the Elements.
