nitrogen
The Group 6A elements are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium. The number of valence electrons in Group 6A is 6.
Since Selenium is a Chalcogen (meaning it's in group 6A on the Periodic Table), it gains 2 electrons to form an ion with a charge of -2.
Magnesium sulfide (MgS) is formed by the reaction of magnesium with sulfur.
A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron
nitrogen
group 6A
The Group 6A elements are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium. The number of valence electrons in Group 6A is 6.
Because it has same number of valence electrons in the same energy level.
Elements in group VIA (6A) also called group 16.
Since Selenium is a Chalcogen (meaning it's in group 6A on the Periodic Table), it gains 2 electrons to form an ion with a charge of -2.
S [Ne] 3s2 3p4
it belongs to the non-metal family. group 6A also known as group 16
TeO4 2- is analogous to SO4 2- TeO3 2- is analogous to SO3 2-
Elements showing properties similar to oxygen would be those that are found in the same group as oxygen (group 6A, or 16). Those would be sulfur (S), and selenium (Se)
Magnesium sulfide (MgS) is formed by the reaction of magnesium with sulfur.
