The chalcogens, the oxygen group, is located in column 16 of the periodic table. It contains the elements oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and ununhexium (O, S, Se, Te, Po, and Uuh, respectively). These elements all contain six valence electrons and form 2- ions.
Groups. A vertical column of elements in the periodic table is a group. The elements in a group have similar chemical properties to each other. For example, group 1 contains sodium and other very reactive metals, while group 7 contains chlorine and other very reactive non-metals.Group 0 (also known as group 8 or group 18) contains helium and other very unreactive non-metals.The modern periodic table. Note that you will never find a compound in the periodic table, because these consist of two or more different elements joined together by chemical bonds.
