Oxygen is placed in group 6 (also known as group 16) of the Periodic Table because it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell. Elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties due to their shared number of valence electrons.

What is the group number for Lanthanides and Actinides?
Rare Earth elements or lanthanides are placed in the period 6 of the periodic table of Mendeleev. Actinoids are placed in the period 7 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
What element has six electrons in the outer shell?
Elements in group VIA (6A) also called group 16.
How many valence electrons does sodium oxide have?
Sodium oxide has a total of 8 valence electrons (1 from sodium and 6 from oxygen) because sodium is in group 1 and oxygen is in group 6 of the periodic table.
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.
Which functional group acts as a base when placed in solution?
The functional group that acts as a base when placed in solution is the amine group.
What is the group is oxygen in?
Group 6
What group is the element oxygen in?
Group 6
Where is oxygen placed in the periodic table?
Oxygen is at the top of Group 16. It has an atomic number of 8.
How can you say group number of oxygen is 16?
Umm... Why can't you? That is what IUPAC has decreed!The history behind the recently accepted IUPAC labelling of the elements is that there was an ambiguity in the older VI A/VI B label -- chromium was sometimes placed in group VI A and sometimes in group VI B, while selenium was placed in the opposite one. It was also unfortunate that iron, cobalt, and nickel were all placed in group VIII.When it was decided that selenium belonged in group 16 and chromium in group 6, it became obvious that oxygen and sulfur should be placed in group 16, because they have more points of similarity with selenium than with chromium.
Why does an element have the atomic number of 8?
Oxygen has atomic number 8. It is placed in group-16.
What is oxygens group number?
Oxygen is a non-metal in the group 6A of the periodic table.
How is oxygen different from other elements of group 6?
At room temperature, oxygen is a gas.
What is the group number for Lanthanides and Actinides?
Rare Earth elements or lanthanides are placed in the period 6 of the periodic table of Mendeleev. Actinoids are placed in the period 7 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Compare the number of valence electrons on oxygen atom has with number of valence electrons a selenium atom has Are oxygen and selenium in the same period or group?
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, while selenium has 6 valence electrons as well. Both oxygen and selenium are in the same group, Group 16 (also known as Group VIA or Group 6) of the periodic table. They are not in the same period – oxygen is in period 2, while selenium is in period 4.
Why is barium placed in group two and period six?
This is because Barium has 2 valence electrons, which gives it group 2, and because it has 6 energy leves which puts it in group 6.
Does the oxygen element belong to specific group?
Yes, it belongs to group 6 in the periodic table and its a gas
Which group contains whose atoms have six electrons in their outer level?
Group 16 (group 6A)
