Periodic table group: A group or family in the periodic table refers to the collection of elements in a column (vertical) in the periodic table. These elements usually share similar characteristics, because of similar electron configurations. For instance, the noble gases form Group Zero of the periodic table, and they share the attribute of being highly unreactive due to a stable electronic configuration.
