Chalcogens
Elements in the
Chalcogen Family
Oxygen (gas)
Sulfur (solid)
Selenium (solid)
Tellurium (solid)
Polonium (solid)
Livermorium (manipulated)
All elements in the
Chalcogen Family have
6 valence electrons
Elements in the Chalcogen
Group react very well
with elements with two
valence electrons.
Elements in the 2nd and
12th family have two valence electrons.
Chalcogen family elements will react with
the Beryllium and Zinc families.
The elements in the Chalcogen Family
share some characteristics.
1) They all have 6
valence electrons.
2) They are all found
in small quantities in
other metals.
3) They are all strong oxidizers.
(rust is iron oxide, it is a by-product
of iron oxidizing)
The elements in the Chalcogen family
are used as oxidizers. As stated before, they
all share the trait of being strong oxidizers.
Chalcogens are used to purify water
by the ozonation process.
a chalcogen will be gasified
in the base of the tower. It will
rise through to the top.
Water will be poured down
from the top.
in the middle, the two will meet,
oxidizing the water and killing all
harmful bacteria.
most chalcogens are found in copper ore.
The Greek word "chalkos" means bronze or copper.
This is why we call the 16th family of elements Chalcogens. They are commonly found in copper ore and other metals.
Greeks originally discovered and named the
Chalcogens somewhere between 800 BCE and
600 CE.
In 5 years, only 30 atoms of
Livermorium have been
created by firing
2.3 x 10^19 calcium ions at
samples of curium.
