Among Group 16 elements, which one does NOT show -2 oxidation state?

  1. O
  2. Se
  3. Te
  4. Po

Answer

(4) Po

Solution

The stability of the -2 oxidation state decreases down Group 16 as the electronegativity and non-metallic character decrease.

O, S, Se and Te form H2E / E2- compounds, but polonium (a metal, least electronegative) hardly shows the -2 oxidation state.

Answer: (4)
