All the elements in group VIA are
Correct answer: A. hygroscopic
- A. hygroscopic
- B. Metals
- C. Polymeric
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The correct answer is (a) hygroscopic. Here's why:Hygroscopic: This means a substance readily absorbs moisture from the air.Group VIA: This group in the periodic table also known as the chalcogens, consists of the elements oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).Hygroscopic: All elements in Group VIA are indeed hygroscopic. Their ability to absorb moisture varies, with oxygen being the least and polonium the most.Therefore, based on the common property of moisture absorption across all elements in Group VIA, (a) hygroscopic is the only accurate answer.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
