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