A period 6 element is one of the chemical elements in the sixth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements, including the lanthanides. A chemical element is a type of Atom that is distinguished by its Atomic number; that is by the number of Protons in its nucleus. In the Periodic table of the elements, a period is a horizontal row of the table The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular method of displaying the Chemical elements Although precursors to this table exist its invention is Terminology The Trivial name " Rare earths " is sometimes used to describe all the lanthanoids together with Scandium and Yttrium

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 Trends The alkali metals show a number of trends when moving down the group - for instance decreasing electronegativity increasing reactivity and decreasing melting and boiling Biological occurrences Beryllium's low aqueous solubility means it is rarely available to biological systems it has no known role in living organisms and when encountered Occurrence Scandium yttrium and the Lanthanides (except promethium tend to occur together in the Earth's crust and are relatively abundant compared with most D-block Biological occurances The group 4 elements are not known to be involved in the biological chemistry of any living systems Biological occurrences Of the group 5 elements only vanadium has been identified as playing a role in the biological chemistry of living systems it is involved in some of the Biological occurrences Group 6 is notable in that it contains some of the only elements in periods 5 and 6 with a known role in the biological chemistry of living organisms molybdenum See also "Group 8" redirects here For the Swedish organization see Group 8 (Sweden.
