Group-16 elements include:-

Oxygen(O), 
Sulphur (S), 
Selenium (Se),
Tellurium (Te)
and Polonium (Po).

Oxygen and Sulphur are non-metals , selenium and tellurium are metalloids, whereas polonium is a metal.

Electronegativity, ionization energy (or ionization potential IP), and electron affinity decrease for the group as atomicweight increases. ..

The Oxygen Family.Group 16 elements have 6 valence electrons, meaning that they require two more electrons to complete a stable electron octet. They still have relatively large electron affinities and are rather reactive, forming ions with a -2 charge.....


I hope it's helpful ☺️☺️✅
