Often, oxygen is treated separately from the other chalcogens, sometimes even excluded from the scope of the term "chalcogen" altogether, due to its very different chemical behavior from sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. (wikipedia.org)
The middle chalcogens (selenium and tellurium) have similar decay tendencies as the lighter chalcogens, but no proton-emitting isotopes have been observed, and some of the most neutron-deficient isotopes of tellurium undergo alpha decay. (wikipedia.org)
Silicon has four valence electrons and reacts readily, forming compounds with most other elements (usually covalent bonds ), primarily its lighter congeners carbon and germanium, heavier ones like lead and tin, and the chalcogens oxygen, sulfur, and selenium. (carboncollective.co)
Sulfur2
Among the lighter chalcogens (oxygen and sulfur), the most neutron-poor isotopes undergo proton emission, the moderately neutron-poor isotopes undergo electron capture or β+ decay, the moderately neutron-rich isotopes undergo β− decay, and the most neutron rich isotopes undergo neutron emission.

Valence electrons2
All of the chalcogens have six valence electrons, leaving them two electrons short of a full outer shell. (wikipedia.org)
Chalcogens show similar patterns in electron configuration, especially in the outermost shells, where they all have the same number of valence electrons, resulting in similar trends in chemical behavior: All chalcogens have six valence electrons. (wikipedia.org)

Heavier1
Lighter chalcogens are typically nontoxic in their elemental form, and are often critical to life, while the heavier chalcogens are typically toxic. (wikipedia.org)
Radioactive2
Out of the six known chalcogens, one (oxygen) has an atomic number equal to a nuclear magic number, which means that their atomic nuclei tend to have increased stability towards radioactive decay. (wikipedia.org)
In addition to the stable isotopes, some radioactive chalcogen isotopes occur in nature, either because they are decay products, such as 210Po, because they are primordial, such as 82Se, because of cosmic ray spallation, or via nuclear fission of uranium. (wikipedia.org)
Oxygen1
Oxygen is generally obtained by separation of air into nitrogen and oxygen. (wikipedia.org)
Atomic3
Electronegativity decreases towards the chalcogens with higher atomic numbers. (wikipedia.org)

It is because of nitrogens small size that it is able to form pπ-pπ bonds with itself. (ktbssolutions.com)
However, nitrogen does not form NX 5 as H lacks the d-orbital. (ktbssolutions.com)
Metal1
The word "chalcogen" is derived from a combination of the Greek word khalkόs (χαλκός) principally meaning copper (the term was also used for bronze/brass, any metal in the poetic sense, ore or coin), and the Latinized Greek word genēs, meaning born or produced. (wikipedia.org)
Heat1
The discovery of Brownian motion by Robert Brown in 1827 [3] , followed far later by Einstein's paper on the molecular kinetic theory of heat in 1905 [4] , showed that temperature was directly linked to molecular movement. (beilstein-journals.org)

Chalcogens show similar patterns in electron configuration, especially in the outermost shells, where they all have the same number of valence electrons, resulting in similar trends in chemical behavior: All chalcogens have six valence electrons. (wikipedia.org)
Amines contain a lone pair of electrons on the Nitrogen and are therefore able to form dative covalent bonds (which you can learn more about in Covalent Bond ). (studysmarter.co.uk)
Benzene rings draw electrons towards them , shifting the electron density away from the nitrogen, and the lone pair from the nitrogen actually becomes 'partially delocalised' onto the ring. (studysmarter.co.uk)
Alkyl groups 'push' electrons onto the nitrogen , having the opposite effect to benzene. (studysmarter.co.uk)
By pushing electrons onto the nitrogen, there is a higher electron density around the nitrogen which means the lone pair will be more available. (studysmarter.co.uk)

This has been rationalized as being necessary for a better description of the low-lying 3d orbital, which as the oxidation state increases sinks low enough to act as a back-donation acceptor from chalcogen and halogen lone pairs. (bvsalud.org)
In both cases, whether an amine is acting as a base or a nucleophile, there will be a bond formed between the lone Nitrogen pair and something else. (studysmarter.co.uk)
The lone pair on the nitrogen gives amines their basic properties by 'accepting' and bonding with protons, so the availability of nitrogen's lone pair determines the likelihood of accepting a proton and therefore the strength of the base. (studysmarter.co.uk)
