The Oxygen Family
Oxygen Family
The family we are learning about is the Oxygen Family. Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are all Nonmetals. Tellurium is a Semimetal, and Polonium is a Metal. All of these elements are in the P block.
Oxygen reacts with virtually every other element except, the lower-mass Noble Gases. The electron configuration for Oxygen is 1s22s22p4. The Ionization Energy of Oxygen is 314kcal/mole. Its boiling point is -183 degrees Celsius and its melting …showed first 75 words of 307 total…

…showed last 75 words of 307 total…It is also in the Oxygen family.
Polonium’s electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s13p63d104s24p64d105s25p64f145d106s26p4. The Ionization Energy of Polonium is 196 kcal/mole. The boiling point is 960 degrees Celsius, and the melting point is 254 degrees Celsius. Polonium is extremely rare. It has 34 isotopes, more than any other element. Polonium is used in small, portable radiation sources and in the control of static electricity.
