It is the halogen group. They are in the P block.
The charges of atoms on the periodic table are determined by the number of protons and electrons they have. Protons carry a positive charge (+1) and electrons carry a negative charge (-1). The charge of an atom is balanced by the number of protons, which equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Atoms in the same group (in the same vertical column) of the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it has protons. The number of protons is given by it's atomic number. The electrons are considered to be arranged in "shells." The outermost shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The effect of being in the same group is that the atoms within a group have similar reactions.
The alkaline earth group has two valence electrons.
Yes, atoms beyond the second period in the periodic table can have an expanded octet, allowing them to hold more than eight electrons in their outer shell.
As you move across the periodic table, atoms tend to get smaller because the increasing number of protons in the nucleus pulls the electrons closer to the center, resulting in a stronger attraction and a smaller atomic size.
Atoms that tend to gain electrons are located on the far left side of the periodic table.
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.

No. Atoms differ in number of protons, neutrons and electrons.

They use a Periodic Table.

Just so you know, the periodic table does not give any indication of how many electrons an atom has but 95% of sulfur atoms are neutral and so contain 16 electrons.
Elements are made of one type of atom. Atoms are made of electrons, neutrons and protons
