16th group elements

Compounds with the 16th group elements. Among the various phases formed with these non-metal elements, the normal valence compounds, NaCl type, may be mentioned. Some of them have been described as point compounds (for instance BaS, BaSe, BaTe) a few others as corresponding to a solid solution range (for instance, EuS 43-50 at.% S, EuTe 50-57 at.% Te). 

The 16th group elements a summary of their atomic and physical properties See Tables 5.76-5.78. 

A few notes about simple binary compounds of the 16th group elements. The reduced intermetallic character of these compounds is possibly reflected in... 

The very high thermal stability of compounds with the elements representative of the 15th to 16th groups such as the antimonides, tellurides, etc. may be underlined. 

ALLOYS OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE 16TH GROUP OF THE PERIODIC TABLE... 

Elements of the 15th and 16th groups. We notice, in comparison with the precedent groups, and especially for the light elements, a substantial increase of the compound formation regions which (for O to Te) practically cover the entire Periodic Table.
