If we know the symbol, let's say W, we may then open any periodic table and search for Tungsten. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.
In the case of Tungsten the group number is 6. There is a lot of cool stuff about Tungsten that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
