As anyone would guess, every atom has a group name assigned, even Dubnium. But how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Db?

First of all, if we know the atom symbol (or name), let's say Db, we can open any periodic table and search for Dubnium. If the periodic table is complete just scroll up and read the number on the top (from 1 to 18).

In the case of Dubnium the group number is 5. However there is a lot of funny facts about Dubnium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
