bar graph color and error

Hello, I am recently workging on plotting bar graph.

xticklabels({'P','As','Sb','Se','Te'})

x = [1,2,3,4,5]

y = [5.03E-11 5.35E-11 4.55E-11 8.85E-11 6.26E-11;

5.03E-11 5.35E-11 4.58E-11 8.95E-11 6.26E-11;

3.73E-11 4.06E-11 3.81E-11 5.82E-11 3.75E-11;

3.73E-11 4.06E-11 3.81E-11 5.85E-11 3.75E-11;

4.30E-11 4.66E-11 3.44E-11 1.15E-10 2.78E-10;

4.30E-11 4.66E-11 3.44E-11 1.15E-10 2.78E-10]

h=bar(x,y,'FaceColor','flat')

xticklabels({'P','As','Sb','Se','Te'})

a = get(gca,'xticklabels');

set(gca,'XTickLabel',a,'fontsize',13)

set(gca, 'yscale','log')

this is the code that I used for this plot

However, I am intending to change the colors into groups. For example, changing the all colors in P into red, changing all colors in As into blue, changing all colors in Sb into green etc.

Also, in the Sb group, 3.44E-11 part doesn't appear in the graph and I cannot figure out why.

Can anyone help me with group color change and Sb group error?

Thank you

x = [1,2,3,4,5];
y = [5.03E-11  5.35E-11  4.55E-11  8.85E-11  6.26E-11;
5.03E-11  5.35E-11  4.58E-11  8.95E-11  6.26E-11;
3.73E-11  4.06E-11  3.81E-11  5.82E-11  3.75E-11;
3.73E-11  4.06E-11  3.81E-11  5.85E-11  3.75E-11;
4.30E-11  4.66E-11  3.44E-11  1.15E-10  2.78E-10;
4.30E-11  4.66E-11  3.44E-11  1.15E-10  2.78E-10];

% red, blue, green, yellow, magenta:
colors = [1,0,0;0,0,1;0,1,0;1,1,0;1,0,1];
h=bar(x,y,'FaceColor','flat','CData',colors);

xticklabels({'P','As','Sb','Se','Te'})

set(gca,'fontsize',13,'yscale','log')

The reason you don't see the bar at 3.44E-11 is because that's the lower y-limit of your axes. You can adjust the limits with the ylim() function.
