Group Number Technetium (Tc) (& Color, Uses ... 2022

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

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

In the case of Technetium the group number is 7. There is a lot of cool stuff about Technetium that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
