The vertical columns. For example the elements in the first column starting from the left of the Periodic Table are called "alkali metals" (with the exception of hydrogen) whereas the elements in the last column to the right are called "noble gases".

The elements that belong to a group share the same chemical properties because they have the same structure of valence electrons in their atoms.
