The "vertical" column of the Periodic Table is called the "group" (from group I, with Hydrogen at the top, then Lithium, Sodium, Potasium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium at the bottom of that group; To group VIII with Helium at the top, working down to ununoctium at the bottom). The horizontal column is called a "period". e.g, period 1, has the element Hydrogen to Helium from left to right of the periodic table, Whereas period 7, has the elements Francium, Radium, Actinium, Rutherfordium, dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Ununbium, Ununtrium, Ununquadium, Ununpentium, Ununhexium, Ununseptium and Ununoctium, from left to right of the periodic table!

A column on the Periodic Table is called a family. Columns 1(Alkali Metals), 2(Alkaline Earth metals), 13, 14, 15, 16, 17(halogens) and 18(Noble gasses) have similar but not identical properties whereas the columns of the transition elements are not called families.
