All of the elements in Group 16 (Group 6A) have 6 valence electrons. Their atomic numbers are 8 for oxygen, 16 for sulfur, 34 for selenium, 52 for tellurium, 84 for polonium, and 116 for ununhexium.
If an atom has a total of 6 electrons it would have a total of 2 valence electrons
If an (neutral) ATOM contains six protons then the no. of electrons will also be 6 . However if the no. of protons will not be equal to the no. of electrons it will become an ION.
Carbon, because atoms have the same numbers of electron and protons, and every single atoms with six protons will always be a carbon atom.
wouldn't it be 8?

The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
It has 79 Protons and Electrons. It also has 118 Neutrons.
The Bromine atom contains: 35 protons, 35 electrons, and 45 neutrons.
Potassium is in the s block. It contains 19 protons in the atom.

Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
A Krypton atom has 36 protons and 36 electrons each.
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
