Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals
Everything on the periodic table is an element and not a compound at all.
Periodic table has 18 groups; see the link below.
The columns on the periodic table are called Groups.
The group number tells you the number of valence electrons in the outer shell. This is important because it is the valence electrons that participate in bonding, and thus in determining the properties of the element.

periodic table is classified into groups and periods.There are 18 groups and 7 periods in periodic table.
The groups in the periodic table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in.

families determine the energy level of an element and groups determine their properties.
The transition metals are located in groups 3 - 12 on the Periodic Table.
