Chemistry books say that he grouped the elements by atomic weight. That is not the same as density.
The density of chlorine is 0.00321g/cm3. The density of the halogens or group 17 elements increases down the group, which is why bromine is liquid and astatine is a solid at room temperature.
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.
An outer electron shell with only one electron.
They have the same valency. The atomic radius of elements increases by one as you go down the group. They also have the same properties

The group one elements have the lowest ionization energies because of their large atomic size which makes the outermost electron only weekly held by the nucleus.

Group one elements are the alkali metals.

The density of group 2 metals increases as you go up the group. This is because atomic radius decreases as you go up the group. Density is mass / volume and the ratio of mass to volume of atoms of the elements goes up with the decrease in radius.
Density (or more properly Relative Density) is an elemental property. An object made from one or more elements will have a density related to the density of the elements.
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.
Group one elements are the most reactive with group 7 elements as it is the easiest way for the elements to complete their outer shell as the group one element gives its extra electron to the group 7 element and then the group 7 element has a full shell too.
The group A elements together comprise one family called as 'Alkali metals'.
Group 1 elements are alkali metals. Group-18 elements are inert in nature.
In group 3A elements, or elements in group 13, have only one unpaired electrons.
