If we know the symbol, let's say Cm, we may then open any periodic table and search for Curium. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.
In the case of Curium the group number is actinides. There is a lot of cool stuff about Curium that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
