So people know!
No,Each of the columns in a periodic table represents a group.
The first periodic table was a handwritten table by Mendeleev. It had groups horizontally across the top and periods down the left hand side. The elements were all put into certain groups with only their chemicals symbols and atomic numbers depicted.
Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, andarrangedthem so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.
no its false i put true and it was wrong they are called groups!!!!!
They are called the Lanthanide Series and the Actinide Series. If you look carefully, you will see the the atomic #s (the little # on the top of each element) on the two rows are in between the atomic numbers in the main periodic table. Also, some versions of the periodic table have arrows showing where they are supposed to go.The two rows actually belong in the main periodic table. The first row belongs between elements 57-71, and the second belongs between elements 89-103.They are separated because if they were put in the main table, it would make it too long.Hope this helped!Read more: Why_are_two_row_of_the_periodic_table_elements_separated_from_the_rest_of_the_chart

I am assuming you mean to ask why elements go into specific groups Elements that have the same number of valence electrons are put into the same group. Because they all have the same number of valence electrons, it could also be said that elements are put into groups based on their chemical properties.
I know that there are over a hundred but you can't always say because when more elements are discovered they are put on the periodic table on the standard table there are 118,
Gadolinium is in the middle of the lanthanide sequence on the periodic table. (The lanthanide sequence is the skinny part at the bottom that, in some periodic tables, is put off to the side.)
Two rows of elements called the "LANTHANIDES" and the "ACTINIDES".
Water and chlorine.
A group (or family) of elements is a column on the Periodic Table. All elements in a group share the same sorts of characteristics. All elements in the same group have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. Another example of physical characteristics is in Group 1 - Alkali Metals. They are all incredibly reactive in Water.A group (or family) of elements is a column on the Periodic Table. All elements in a group share the same sorts of characteristics.
