OXYGEN because it has only one oxidation state of -2, all the other elements in the group have multiple oxidation states.
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.
The periodic table also has a special name for its vertical columns. Each column is called a group. The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons.
A group of molecules is held together by chemical bonds. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where atoms transfer electrons to form charged particles. The type of bond formed depends on the elements involved and their electronegativity.
The alkaline earth group has two valence electrons.
The outer shell of the atoms in Group D will always be 1 or 2 s orbital electrons. Irregularities occur with Cr where it is s1d5, not s2d4 and in Group 11 metals it is s1d10 not s2d9 so that the d-subshell is complete at Group 11.
Atoms of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy shells. This gives the elements similar Chemical Propetries.

number of valence electrons
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
Atoms of elements in group (column 2 of the periodic table) have 2 electrons in their outer shell. They have a low electronegativity, which means the electrons are not strongly attracted to the protons in the nucleus when compared to the electrons in atoms of column 6 or 7. For this reason, group 2 elements easily form +2 ion when in the presence of group 6 or7 elements.
The six elements most likely to share or lose two electrons with other atoms are group 16; oxygen and sulfur, and group 17; fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. These elements have six and seven valence electrons respectively, making it energetically favorable for them to either share two electrons to complete an octet or lose one electron to achieve a stable configuration.
The question is unclear, but from what I can understand the answer is the halogens.

group 1...is 1 valence. group 2...is 2 valence.
It is group 16, also known as the chalcogens
