The vertical columns of the Periodic Table are arranged to contain elements that have similar chemical and physical properties.

The two rows at the bottom (called the Lanthanide and Actinide series) are elements that would all fit into group IIIB, in periods (horizontal rows) 6 and 7. since there is only one spot on the chart for all the elements in each series, they are listed separately at the bottom of the table.
