I plan to educate those who read this paper on what they might not know of a few of our elements. I will tell you what I have learned over the oxygen group on the elemental table. I will talk about Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and last but not least Polonium. These elements have changed our way of life and history in ways you might not know. We are surrounded by these elements in our daily life and they make us the way we are. I hope to teach you and answer some questions about these elements in this informant paper.
On the periodic table there are many groups that classified on it. The oxygen group is a very important group for life to exist at all. The oxygen group is the sixteenth group on the periodic table. There are five elements in the Oxygen group and they are: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. They each follow the octet rule (they want eight electrons in there outer shell). They each only have six in their outer shell, so they will want to get two more by gaining two electrons. They can share the electrons buy having a covalent bond. A covalent bod is when two or more atoms come together to share electrons. Also another name for the Oxygen group is the chalcogens.
Electron configuration
Oxygen: 1s2 2s2 2p4
Sulfur: 1s2 2s2p6 3s2p4
Selenium: 1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6d10 4s2p4
Tellurium: 1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6d10 4s2p6d10 5s2p4
Polonium: 1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6d10 4s2p6d14 5s2p6 d10 6s2p4
Oxygen is the first element on the Oxygen group. That is why the name of the group is named the Oxygen group. It has eight electrons total. It has six in its outer electron cloud. According to the octet rule, the oxygen will want to gain two more electrons to fill its outer shell with eight. Oxygen is also one of th...

...y years. Could you imagine there not being an oxygen group. Well actually you couldn’t do to any sulfur on earth to form a lot of the land in the soil. Another important element needed is oxygen. All life needs it to survive.
The oxygen group has at least one thing in common. They all have six electrons in their outer shell. They want to collect two more electrons to stay in the octant rule. They want to have eight electrons in their outer shell. They can be very reactive to collect their needed two elements. Oxygen is needed in fire. Sulfur and heat can cause a toxic fume. Selenium, tellurium, and polonium are all radioactive or poisonous when in air.
I hope I have educated you and answered some questions. I have written as much information as I could find on these life crucial elements. These elements are very important and crucial to our life.
The introduction of the book is very intriguing, making readers want to read more. It is in fact one of my favorite parts of the book, telling how Kean’s love for the periodic table and its elements started. It then jumps into giving useful facts and information that I was oblivious to. The geography of the elements is told, where they are located and the importance of their

Just as the title of the chapter suggests, the main focus of Chapter 11 is how elements found on the Periodic Table are not always what they appear. Kean begins this chapter with describing how elements can be unpredictable in some conditions, and uses example from the past to...
The Hadean era ranges from 4.6 billion years ago to 3.8 billion years ago. Included in this period was a time of major changes in the Earth’s formation. It involves the origin of the atmosphere, volcanic outgassing, and H2O, H2, HCL, CO, CO2, N2, and sulfur gases. Little or no free oxygen was present in this period. The evidence that supports the oxygen theory include: Urbanite and pyrite are readily oxidized today, in modern times, but are found unoxidized in sediments from here, chemical “building blocks” could not have formed in the presence of oxygen and the simplest living organisms have an anaerobic metabolism and would have been killed by oxygen. It also included the origin of the continental crust. Most of the early crust was mafic and the continental developed secondary to that.
Oshun rules over rivers, love, romance, gold, pregnancy, witchcraft, healing, weight loss love, fertility, relationship, and love or wishing spells. When individuals have writer block, Oshun is an excellent Loa to petition. She is also who we go to for spells in money matters. She is the youngest of the female Orishas, but maintains the honor of Great Queen. Oshun heals with her sweet water and honey, infused with her spiritual power. They say Oshun saved the world by seducing Ogun and tempting him to go back the woods. Oshun is a messenger from Olodumare. For this purpose no matter what Orisha governs their head, all who are admitted as priests, have to go to the river and give statement to Oshun.
We must expect discoveries of new elements whose weight will be between 65 and 75. The atomic weight of an element may be amended by the knowledge of its contiguous
Instead, the ionization energy level of nitrogen is actually greater than oxygen. The anomaly can be examined more thoroughly through orbital diagrams of both nitrogen and oxygen. Since oxygen is the eighth element, it has 8 electrons, which would make its electron configuration 1s22s22p4 (University of Maryland, 2016), As for nitrogen, it is the seventh element with 7 electrons. Nitrogen’s electron configuration is 1s22s22p3(University of Maryland, 2016).
Water, for instance contains hydrogen and oxygen, thus it is a very important element for to all living things. Drawn from ENVS 1301 textbook;
The Periodic Table is one of the most recognisable and valuable scientific resources. With over 100 elements, each with different physical and chemical properties, the discovery of the periodic system has been one of the most important discoveries in the history of science. The first element, phosphorus, was discovered in the 17th century1. There have been numerous discoveries that have developed the Periodic Table. Humans have been aware of elements for thousands of years; the ancient elements were fire, water, earth and air. Aristotle related these four elements to two of the four sensible qualities or those things perceived by sense, fire is primarily hot and secondarily dry, air is primarily wet and secondarily hot, water is primarily cold and secondarily wet and earth is primarily dry and secondarily cold2.
The oxygen effect plays a great role in the treatment and diagnosis of cancers and in imaging. As will be shown, it is a complex issue with many different facets. There is no clear, concrete evidence for even the most logical and well known theories, which have not always been as such. New evidence arises quickly and is contested just as fast, leading to great debate, but also to great revelations into the true nature of an effect as complicated as the oxygen effect in radiobiology..
Mercury is inarguably one of the most, if not the most, captivating metals on the periodic table because of its unorthodox existence as well as its properties. The element mercury is a highly intricate metal that’s composition, history, and presence in modern science has keep it so prevalent for thousands of years until recently. In this essay, one will examine all components of mercury, both physical and chemical, as well as its history and modern life, in order to paint the reader a much more heightened and detailed picture of the eightieth element. In order to fully understand mercury and all of it complexities as well as, simply put, quirks, starting from the basics is crucial. Mercury, symbol Hg, is listed as number eighty on the periodic table, and has a mass of 200.592 atomic mass units (AMU); coincidentally, mercury has eighty protons as well as electrons by default.
The Periodic Table is based around the Atomic Theory. Firstly people believed that everything was made up the four elements Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. This theory evolved into everything being made up of atoms. Breakthroughs throughout history such as the discoveries of the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons have pushed this theory forward to where it is today.
Carbon itself is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. It can be found in the sun, the stars, comets, and the atmospheres of most planets. There are close to ten million known carbon compounds, many thousands of which are vital to the basis of life itself. In normal combustion, the output would yield two oxygen molecules in combination with one carbon molecule to from carbon dioxide, or CO2. If not enough oxygen is present when the combustion occurs, one molecule is taken in by the carbon molecule to produce carbon monoxide (CO).
All living cells need oxygen in order to carry out their various functions. These functions stop quickly if the supply
