Question

SmokeyBrown · Answer

The diagram shows a model of an atom with 8 electrons. I'm pretty fuzzy on the importance of s and p orbitals and what they mean. But it seems to me that an atom with 8 electrons would be an oxygen atom (the question said it's an atom, not an ion).
And Oxygen on the periodic table belongs to group 16. I think that would be your answer, based on those assumptions

Vocaloid · Answer

To expand upon the previous response, to determine group number you look at the valence electrons (outer shell only). In the outer shell of the diagram there are only 6 electrons, so looking at the ptable go from left to right and look at the 6th group (skip the transition metals) to get to group 16. Ptable.com

Ohhh i get it so that atom is oxygen and oxygen is in group 16
Wow i was over thinking that question
