Columns of The Periodic Table of the Elements:
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10..11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18.
A notation convention of the groups is
1A, 2A, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 8B, 8B, 1B, 2B, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A.
Then the sequence of this entry is formed from the numeric characters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 1, 2, ...
Note that the elements, of the 4th period, whose crystals are ferromagnetics (26=Fe=Iron, 27=Co=Cobalt and 28=Ni=Nickel) are in the group 8B.
