Group 16 of the periodic table of the elements (chalcogens elements)
If you meant to say "elements ARE most likely to bond with," which is probably what you meant, then the answer would be 7A(or 17), also called the Halogens. "Halogen" actually means "salt-forming." When you take a chlorine (7A) and sodium (1A), you end up with table salt! ---- In a nutshell, the answer is Group 7A, or 17.
group 16 or The Chalcogens group.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
An element in group 16/VIA, such as oxygen, is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond. This is due to the fact that the atoms of the elements in group 16/VIA have six valence electrons and require two more to get a filled valence shell of 8 electrons (octet rule).
Group 16 or the chalcogens.
In general, when an element in group 1 or group 2 combines with elements in group 16 or group 17, ionic bonds are formed between the two elements.
In general, when an element in group 1 or group 2 combines with elements in group 16 or group 17, ionic bonds are formed between the two elements.
Potassium will form ionic compound with group 17 elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) and group 16 elements (oxygen, sulphur, selenium).
Group 1 or group 2 elements with group 16 or group 17 elements. In general, if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is more than 1.7 in Pauling's scale, then the two atoms form ionic bond.
chalcogens
Group 16 elements have same number of valence electrons i.e. 6 . It has charge of 2-.
It does have a name. Group 16 elements are called "chalcogens".
