Anomalous behaviour of oxygen is due to

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the anomalous behavior of oxygen, we can break it down into several key points: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Group**: Oxygen is part of Group 16 in the periodic table, which includes elements like sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. 2. **Small Size**: Oxygen has a significantly smaller atomic radius compared to the other elements in its group. This small size influences its properties, making it behave differently than its heavier counterparts. ...
