The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged so that elements in the same group (column) will exhibit certain similar characteristics with others in that same group, but different periods (rows). So you can predict, with a certain degree of confidence, how a certain element may behave by where it is located on the periodic table, based on what you know about how other elements in the same group behave. This is mainly due to the valence electrons (the outermost electrons) being the same configuration as others in the same group. The valence electrons are a big determining factor as how that element will react with other elements.

They do not all behave exactly the same, but similar.
