Group 16

Also known as chalocogens

  • As in groups 14 and 15, the lightest group 16 member has the greatest tendency to form multiple bonds

  • Metallic character increases down the group, with tellurium classified as a metalloid and polonium as a metal. Melting point, boiling point, density, atomic radius, and ionic radius all increase down the group.

  • Tellerium is used as abasic ingredientients in plastic cups

 

Also called Halogens

  • There is an increase in atomic radius down the group because ofthe number of layers of electrons around the nucleus and the pull the outer electrons feel from the nucleus.

  • Extremely reactive due to the desire of wanting to gain that e-

  • Flourine is used for toothpaste and Chlorine is used in medicine,dyes and plastic

 

Also known as Noble gases

  • " due to the fact that their filled valence shells (octets) make them extremely nonreactive.

  • Atomic mass, boiling point, and atomic radii INCREASE down a group in the periodic table. 

  • Krypton can be found in energy efficent windows

  • While Xenon is used in x rays etc
