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

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Group Number Plutonium (Pu) (& Color, Uses ..." 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.
