Group Number Xenon (Xe) (& Color, Uses ... rev. 2022

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

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

In the case of Xenon the group number is 18. There is a lot of cool stuff about Xenon that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
