⚡ Which Group 16 Element Does NOT Show -2 Oxidation State? 🤔
Group 16 elements, also known as chalcogens (O, S, Se, Te, Po), typically exhibit a -2 oxidation state due to their high electronegativity and ability to gain electrons. But there’s one exception that breaks the rule! 🚫🔬
🔍 Why Do Group 16 Elements Show -2 Oxidation State?
✔️ They have six valence electrons and need two more to complete their octet! ⚛️
✔️ Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, and Tellurium commonly form -2 ions in compounds! 💡
✔️ BUT Polonium (Po) behaves differently! 🤯
❌ Why Doesn’t Polonium Prefer -2 Oxidation State?
🔸 It’s a heavier element 🏋️ (Larger atomic size = Weaker electron affinity)
🔸 Lower electronegativity ⚡ (Unlike O, S, and Se, it prefers losing electrons!)
🔸 Shows +2 and +4 oxidation states instead! 🔢 (More stable due to inert pair effect!)
🔸 Radioactive and metallic nature ☢️⚡ (Unlike oxygen, which is a non-metal!)
💡 Fun Fact:
Polonium is highly radioactive ☢️ and was discovered by Marie Curie! It was named after her homeland, Poland 🇵🇱.
