The answer: Periods form horizontal rows, groups form vertical columns

Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods, while the verticals columns are called groups. Elements that are in the same group have similar properties. For example Group 1 is called the alkali metals. These are all soft, reactive metals.
