As anyone would guess, every atom has a group name assigned, even Barium. But how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Ba?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol (or name), let's say Ba, we can open any periodic table and search for Barium. If the periodic table is complete just scroll up and read the number on the top (from 1 to 18).
In the case of Barium the group number is 2. However there is a lot of funny facts about Barium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
Learn more about the atomic number.
Learn more about the atomic mass.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Group Number of Barium (& Uses, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.

Greek: barys (heavy or dense).Description
Soft, slightly malleable, silvery-white metal.State at 20 °C
SolidDiscovery
Discovered By: Sir Humphrey DavyYear: 1808
Location: England
Uses
Barite, or barium sulfate (BaSO4), when ground is used as a filter for rubber, plastics, and resins. It is insoluable in water and so is used in X-rays of the digestive system. Barium nitrate, Ba(NO3)2, burns brilliant green and is used in fireworks.Sources
Found in barytine (BaSO4) and witherite (BaCO3), never found in pure form due to its reactivity. Must be stored under kerosene to remain pure.Want to learn more details and data about Barium (Ba)? Check my Elements Comprehensive List.
