8. The brown group is the lanthanoids group.

9. And the mauve/pink group is the actinoids group.

 

The red group (other metals) and yellow group (post transition metals and metalloids group) are more frequently categorized as column groups of the top element in the group.

 

The Boron group consists of Boron (B), Aluminum (Al), Gallium (Ga), Indium (In), and Thallium (Th). The Carbon group consists of Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Tin (Sn), and Lead (Pb).

 

The Nitrogen group consists of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), and Bismuth (Bi). All of these elements are the different types of atoms that are known on earth and beyond.
