each group of the Periodic Table consists of elements that resemble each other. for instance Lithium, sodium, potassium, and a few more a grouped together, are called the alkali metals. These are all highly reactive, thus they are in a group. Furthermore group also determines the number of valence electrons are present in some cases. Hope that answered your question.
