  Periodic table group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A periodic table group is a vertical column in the periodic table of the chemical elements.
The modern explanation of the pattern of the periodic table is that the elements in a group have similar configurations of the outermost electron shells of their atoms: as most chemical properties are dominated by outer electron interactions, this tends to give elements in the same group similar physical and chemical properties.
The Roman numeral names are the original traditional names of the groups; the Arabic numeral names are those recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to replace the old names in an attempt to reduce the confusion generated by the two older, but mutually confusing, schemes.

 Group 6 element - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Group 6 element is the series of elements in group 6 (IUPAC style) in the periodic table, which consists of the transition metals chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and seaborgium (Sg).
"Group 6" is the new IUPAC name for this group, the old style name was "group VIA" in the old European system or "group VIB" in the old US system.
Group 6 must not be confused with the group with the old-style group names of either VIB (European system) or VIA (US system) which is now group 16.

The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals." As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table.
All of the rare earth metals are found in group 3 of the periodic table, and the 6th and 7th periods.

 Photographic element with yellow dye-forming coupler and stabilizing compound having improved light stability - US ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Such groups can advantageously affect the layer in which the coupler is coated, or other layers in the photographic recording material, by performing, after release from the coupler, functions such as dye formation, dye hue adjustment, development acceleration or inhibition, bleach acceleration or inhibition, electron transfer facilitation, color correction and the like.
In the case of processing a negative working element, the element is treated with a color developer (that is one which will form the colored image dyes with the color couplers), and then with a oxidizer and a solvent to remove silver and silver halide.
In the case of processing a reversal color element, the element is first treated with a fl and white developer (that is, a developer which does not form colored dyes with the coupler compounds) followed by a treatment to fog unexposed silver halide (usually chemical or light fogging), followed by treatment with a color developer.

 02.18.2003 - "Periodic Table" of proteins helps make sense of structure
His group's method involved mathematically comparing each motif to every other motif, calculating their dissimilarity as a measure of structural "distance" between a given motif pair.
Then, the group found an arrangement in space such that the physical distance between motifs corresponded to their structural "distance." In the resulting map, the folds or motifs most like one another, the ones that are structurally related, end up plotted next to one another.
In fact, his group has already added many more folds and has found that they occupy the same "envelope" of the four elongated clusters in fold space, suggesting that this "map" constructed of the 498 most common folds is a good representation for all proteins.
