What else can I help you with?
Why was group sixteen of the periodic table of elements never named?
It does have a name. Group 16 elements are called "chalcogens".
What group on the periodic table gains two electrons?
Group 16 elements.
What group of elements attains stability by gaining electron?
Group 17 and group 16 in general.
What is the group name that contains sulfur selenium tellurium and polonium?
Group 16 of the periodic table of the elements (chalcogens elements)
What does group 16 on the periodic table of elements have the same number of?
Group 16 on the periodic table, also known as the oxygen group, has the same number of valence electrons (6) in its outermost shell for each element within the group. This group includes elements such as oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and tellurium.
Why do elements in group 16 share similar properties?
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
Why do all elements in group 16 share property?
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
Oxidation number for first 20 elements?
The oxidation numbers for the first 20 elements in the periodic table are typically as follows: Group 1 elements: +1; Group 2 elements: +2; Group 13 elements: +3; Group 14 elements: +4 or -4; Group 15 elements: -3; Group 16 elements: -2; Group 17 elements: -1; Group 18 elements: 0. Keep in mind that oxidation numbers can vary in different compounds and contexts.
Which element has the lowest atomic number of group 16 elements?
Oxygen is the element having atomic number 8. It is present in group-16.
Which elements are in the same group as oxygen?
Elements in the same group as oxygen are sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. Group 16 elements are also known as the chalcogens and share similar chemical properties.
Why is Sulfur a part of group 16 the periodic table?
Sulfur is part of group 16 of the periodic table because it has 6 valence electrons, which gives it similar chemical properties to other elements in the group. Group 16 elements tend to form compounds by gaining or sharing 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What gains electrons on the periodic table?
elements of group 17 (most readily) followed by group 16 and group 15
