In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) is a vertical column in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 groups in the standard periodic table.
18 represents the atomic number for Argon. It is the number of protons and of electrons in an argon atom and defines its position in the periodic table.
The periodic table is arranged based off of A) chemical properties of elements and B) Atomic numbers. When what im assuming your chemistry teacher says four families, he is referring to the four main families of the periodic table that are used in high school chemistry, these are A) Group 1 : The Alkali earth metals , which are all highly reactive metals B) Group 2 : The Alkaline earth metals C) Group 17 : The Halogens, these are all very stable substances which bond very well with the Alkali earth metals to form salts and D) Group 18 : The Noble gasses or Inert gasses , these are all highly stable gasses due to their full valency shell, they do not generally bond with other metals

Noble Gases....
Xenon belongs to the noble gas family (group 18) on the periodic table. Noble gases are characterized by their stability and lack of reactivity due to a full valence electron shell.
It belongs to group 18 in the periodic table.
Noble gases or group 18.
Elements in group 18 of the periodic table.
A column is known as a group in periodic table. There are 18 groups in the modern setting of periodic table. Elements in the same group usually share same chemical properties and striking physical characteristic trends.
The family name for group 17 elements in the periodic table is the Halogens.
Noble gases are found in Group 18 of the periodic table, also known as the noble gas group or Group 18.
The noble gases in group 18 are inert.
Noble gases are in the group 18 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
