Group Number Seaborgium (Sg) (& Color, Uses ... 2022

All atoms have a group name assigned, even Seaborgium. Ok but how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Sg?

If we know the symbol, let's say Sg, we may then open any periodic table and search for Seaborgium. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.

In the case of Seaborgium the group number is 6. There is a lot of cool stuff about Seaborgium that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
