Group Number of Lead (& Uses, Sources ... 2022

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

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

In the case of Lead the group number is 14. However there is a lot of funny facts about Lead that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
