This is a theorem of Rosenstein from the paper *[$\aleph_0$-categoricity of groups][1]*. But note that he uses the terminology *bounded order* rather than *finite exponent*.
 

I say that a group is *$\aleph_0$-categorical* if its complete theory in the language of groups is $\aleph_0$-categorical (i.e., has a unique countable model). 

It is not hard to show that an $\aleph_0$-categorical group has finite exponent. This is also Theorem 1 of Rosenstein's paper. Theorem 2 of his paper provides a converse for abelian groups. So we have:

>**Theorem.** (Rosenstein 1971)<br/>
>An infinite abelian group is $\aleph_0$-categorical if and only if it has finite exponent.

**Appendix.** The discussion below has inspired me to add some discussion of the proof of theorems, and some other remarks. The theorem above comes from two results in Rosenstein's paper. 

**Theorem 1.** *An $\aleph_0$-categorical group has finite exponent.*

*Proof.* Rosenstein uses the following fact, due to Ryll-Nardzewski/Enegler/Svenonius independently.

> A countably infinite structure $M$ is $\aleph_0$-categorical if and only if for all $m>0$, the action of $\operatorname{Aut}(M)$ on $M^m$ has finitely many orbits. 

Now suppose $\operatorname{Th}(G)$ is $\aleph_0$-categorical. We may assume $G$ is countable. Since elements of distinct orders are in distinct orbits of the action of $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ on $G$, there is a uniform bound on the orders of torsion elements in $G$. Moreover, $G$ has no elements of infinite order since, if $g$ were such then $(g,g^n)$  for varying $n$ would be in distinct orbits in the action on $G^2$. 

**Theorem 2.** *An infinite abelian group of finite exponent is $\aleph_0$-categorical.* 

See Rosenstein's paper. The main tool is a structure theorem for abelian groups of finite exponent as direct sums of cyclic groups. This is apparently called Prufer's First Theorem.

Some remarks:

 1. By YCor's comment about $\mathbb{Q}^{(\omega)}$, one cannot prove Theorem 1 by considering only orbits of singletons. ($\mathbb{Q}$ works also.)  

 2. It is easier to prove that an $\aleph_0$-categorical *torsion* group $G$ has finite exponent. Indeed, if not then by compactness/DLS there is a countable model of $\operatorname{Th}(G)$ with an element of infinite order, which cannot be $G$. But if $G$ is not a torsion group, I don't see a quick way to avoid Ryll-Nardzewski or Omitting Types of some kind (although one can substitute other facts that use these results, e.g., in an $\aleph_0$-categorical structure, the algebraic closure of a finite set is finite). 

 3. An $\aleph_0$-categorical group need not be abelian. An example is the countably infinite extraspecial $p$-group (see Definition 5.15 [here][2]). On the other hand, there are many results in model theory along the lines of "$\aleph_0$-categorical plus some model-theoretic property" implies some abelian-like structure. For example, Bauer, Cherlin, and Macintyre showed that an $\aleph_0$-categorical superstable group is abelian-by-finite.

 4. An infinite group of finite exponent need not be $\aleph_0$-categorical. For example, take an infinite finitely generated group of finite exponent (like a Tarski monster). Indeed, by the more general result about algebraic closure stated above, if $G$ is $\aleph_0$-categorical then any finite subset of $G$ generates a finite subgroup.
