As anyone would guess, every atom has a group name assigned, even Ruthenium. But how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Ru?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol (or name), let's say Ru, we can open any periodic table and search for Ruthenium. If the periodic table is complete just scroll up and read the number on the top (from 1 to 18).
In the case of Ruthenium the group number is 8. However there is a lot of funny facts about Ruthenium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
Learn more about the atomic number.

Year: 1844

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 Ruthenium (& 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.
