“Carbon group” (tetragens, crystallogens)

The group is sometimes also referred to as tetragens because it has four electrons in its outermost shell or the valence shell. This group is also called the crystallogens.

“Pnictogens”

The term pnictogen (or pnigogen) is derived from the Ancient Greek word πνίγειν (pnígein) meaning “to choke”, referring to the choking or stifling property of nitrogen gas.

They have 5 electrons in their outermost shell, that is 2 electrons in the s subshell and 3 unpaired electrons in the p subshell. They are therefore 3 electrons short of filling their outermost electron shell in their non-ionized state.

“Chalcogens”

All of the chalcogens have six valence electrons, leaving them two electrons short of a full outer shell.

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.

"Halogens"

The name “halogen” means “salt-producing”. When halogens react with metals they produce a wide range of salts, including calcium fluoride, sodium chloride (common table salt), silver bromide and potassium iodide.

"Noble Gases"

Their outer shell of valence electrons is “full”.

The inertness of noble gases makes them very suitable in applications where reactions are not wanted. For example, argon is used in light bulbs to prevent the hot tungsten filament from oxidizing;
