The element hafnium fits in the 6th Period of Group 4 of the modern Periodic Table. It is immediately next to Lanthanum, which extends as another separate block called the f-block. Thus it is immediately next to Lanthanum (atomic number Z=57) though it has Z=72. It is below zirconium, which is, in turn, below titanium in Group 6.
