I think you mean the Ideal or Noble gases.
Column 18 , or '8' , in 'old money'.
Group 18 or the Zero Group consists of inert/noble gases all having a stable electronic configuration.
For example the fist and second column of the Periodic Table contain stable elements (excepting the last members and some isotopes).
The stable elements are present in group-18. They are noble elements.
Column with the most stable elements is Column 18.It is column of noble gases.Noble gases are very stable and least reactive.
This is the noble gases group.
what column of the periodic table contains elements whose electron configurations end with d4
The same number of electrons IN THEIR OUTER SHELL. Look up electron configuration for more detail.
Two, as indicated by its presence in column 2 (or IIA) of a periodic table.
Aluminum is the 3rd row of our periodic table, so to make its short-hand electron configuration, we start with the noble gas on the end of the previous row, neon (Ne), in this case. Being in the 3A column, Al has 3 electrons in the outer shell, so the configuration is: [Ne] 3s2 3p1
They have one valence electron.

Two, as indicated by its presence in column 2 (or IIA) of a periodic table.
The electron configuration in the outer shell is the same for all of the elements in the same column. This results in some similar chemical properties between these elements in the same group (column).

The family of 'noble' (= inert) gasses in group (column) 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell is completely filled up with s2 and p6 electrons.
When reacted with highly electropositive metals, a hydrogen atom can accept an additional electron to attain the electron configuration of the noble gas that has one more proton than itself. This is a defining characteristic of periodic table column VII B in a narrow form periodic table.
They have one valence electron.
The periodic table is arranged by atomic number, but the focus is also on its arrangement by the electron configuration. The columns, called Groups, are all the elements that have the same number of electrons in their valence shell. If we look at just Group 1, which is all the elements down the left column, each of those elements has a single electron in its outer most electron shell. They will all act in a chemically similar way because of this electron configuration. And that's the reason we arrange the table the way we do. Additionally, that is the power of the periodic table; it is a tool of both explanation and prediction.
Yes
If they are placed in the same vertical column, which is called a group, it means that they have similar properties. For example, the first column (group) of the periodic table are the alkali metals. The second is alkali earth metals. Other groups include halogens, royal gases, etc.
That is correct; the first column on the left contains only elements with one electron in their outer shell, also known as "valance electrons". This column is referred to as Group 1, also known as the Alkali Metals.
