the answer is groups.
Added:
There are 18 main groups and two special ones (with 14 lanthanides and 14 actinides respectively).
Groups contain elements with the same 'outer' electron configuration (valence electrons).
Note: Vertical rows are actually called: columns
Vertical columns in a periodic table are termed as groups.
On the periodic table the columns are known as periods. They are horizontal rows in the periodic table of elements.
The columns are called groups.
They are called Groups.
Each vertical column in the periodic table is group.There are 18 groups in periodic table.Seventeenth group belongs to halogens.
The vertical column in a periodic table is called "The Group" and there are 8 groups in the periodic table, I through O or VIII.They are called Groups or sometimes Families. For many the periodic table has 8 groups but when you also include the transition metals, then there are 18 groups which gives you a better understanding when you are working out the electron arrangement within the atom's structure.
Each vertical column on the periodic table are called groups, they are also known as families because they have similar chemical properties to each other.
A group is a column in the periodic table of elements.
Families
A vertical column is called a 'group.' A horizontal row is called a 'period,' thus the periodic table.
A column, also called group, is a vertical line on the periodic table.
A group is vertical column. There are 18 groups in periodic table.
groups or families
Yes, it is.
They are called Groups.

In the periodic table a group is equivalent to a column.
