Exceptional Lie groups G2, F4, E6, E7, E8 of dimensions 14, 52, 78, 133, 248 were obtained as result of classification of simple Lie groups performed by Killing and Elie Cartan. The tool used in classification is Dynkin diagram and root system of vectors in Lie algebra of the group. The remaining Lie groups form four infinite families of transformations of n-dimensional space over real (odd and even), complex and quaternionic field.

$G_2$ and Geometry
I promised Sean a detailed answer, so here it is.
As José has already mentioned, it is only $G_2$ (of the five exceptional Lie groups) which can arise as the holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold. …
