1.	Name the elements in groups 16, 17 and 18. What is the oxygen family?
Answer» Group 16 elements : Oxygen (₈O); Sulphur (₁₆S); Selenium (₃₄Se); Tellurium(₅₂Te); Polonium(₈₄Po) Group 17 elements : Fluorine (₉F); Chlorine (₁₇Cl); Bromine (₃₅Br); Iodine (₅₃I); Astatine (₈₅At). Group 18 elements : Helium (₂He); Neon (₂Ne), Argon (₁₈Ar), Krypton (₃₆Kr), Xenon(₅₄Xe), Radon (₈₆Rn) The group 16 is called the oxygen family.
