zuurstofgroep
Zuurstofgroep refers to elements that belong to Group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the chalcogens. This group consists of oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po). These elements share common chemical properties due to having six valence electrons in their outermost electron shell. They typically form compounds with oxygen and other nonmetals and can also form oxides and sulfides.
The most well-known element in this group is oxygen, which is essential for life as we know
The chemical behavior of the zuurstofgroep elements is largely dictated by their tendency to gain two electrons
