### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Group**: The question refers to Group VIA or Group 16 of the periodic table. This group includes the elements Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te), and Polonium (Po). 2. **Understand the Trend in Metallic Character**: In the periodic table, metallic character increases as you move down a group. This is due to the increase in atomic size and the decrease in ionization energy, which makes it easier for atoms to lose electrons. 3. **Classify the Elements**: - **Oxygen (O)** and **Sulfur (S)** are classified as non-metals. ...
