Answer:
They all belong to the p block in the periodic table
Explanation:
Let us examine the electronic configuration of each element;
Oxygen - [He] 2s2 2p4
Silicon - [Ne] 3s2 3p2
Selenium - [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4
A common thread that joins all the elements listed above is that they all belong to the p-block in the periodic table. They could be collectively referred to as p-block elements.
Carbon can react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Which of the following statements about this chemical change is true? ... Carbon and oxygen atoms are destroyed as new atoms are formed. Carbon and oxygen atoms have the same properties as molecules of carbon dioxide.
Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron!
Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.
