Answer:
They are grouped together by their atomic number and their number of electron shells. Electronegativity is a function of effective nuclear charge and how diffuse the orbitals are. Both these factors change as you saunter through the periodic table.

It's probably more accurate to ask why metals are grouped together. Hydrogen in group one makes the former statement more accurate than your statement.
They aren't grouped together by choice. They are grouped together by their atomic number and their number of electron shells.
Electronegativity is a function of effective nuclear charge and how diffuse the orbitals are. Both these factors change as you saunter through the periodic table.
Metallic bonding involves atoms all chucking their spare electrons into a common paddling pool while they bob around in it. The more electronegative an atom, the less it wants to share it's electrons.
In other terms, elements on the left of the periodic table are left wing and elements on the right are right wing.
