All atoms have a group name assigned, even Silicon. Ok but how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Si?
If we know the symbol, let's say Si, we may then open any periodic table and search for Silicon. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.
In the case of Silicon the group number is 14. There is a lot of cool stuff about Silicon that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?

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 Silicon (Si) (& 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.

Name Origin
Latin: silex, silicus, (flint).Atomic Symbol
SiDescription
Amorphous form is brown power; crystalline form has gray metallic appearance. Seventh most abundant element in the universe. Second most plentiful element in the earths crust.State at 20 °C
SolidDiscovery
Discovered By: Jöns BerzeliusYear: 1824
Location: Sweden
Sources
Makes up major portion of clay, granite, quartz (SiO2), and sand. Commercial production depends on a reaction between sand (SiO2) and carbon at a temperature of around 2200 °C.Uses
Used in glass as silicon dioxide (SiO2). Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest substances known and used in polishing. Also the crystalline form is used in semiconductors.Want to learn more details and data about Silicon (Si)? Check my Elements Comprehensive List.
