Amphigenic<\/strong> is a term derived from French amphigene<\/em>. It's about a adjective<\/strong> that allows to refer to chemical element<\/strong> that is part of the group composed of the polonium<\/strong>, the tellurium<\/strong>, the selenium<\/strong>, the sulfur<\/strong> and the oxygen<\/strong>, all located in the same column<\/strong> of the periodic table<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Amphigenic\"Also known as chalcogens<\/strong>, amphigens present six electrons<\/strong> from Valencia<\/strong>. The etymology of the concept is associated with the capacity of certain elements of create basic or acidic compounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The set of antigens is called group 16<\/strong> or group of<\/strong> oxygen<\/strong> (for its first element), previously named group VI A<\/strong>. While the first three elements are no metals<\/strong> (oxygen, sulfur, and selenium), the remaining two are metalloids<\/strong> (tellurium and polonium).<\/p>\n

Amphigens have to accept a couple of electrons<\/strong> to achieve the electronic configuration that characterizes a Noble gas<\/strong>. That is why they usually exhibit a negative oxidation state<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is important to mention that the oxygen<\/strong>, in its natural state, is the most abundant element in the Land<\/strong>. This antigen can be found free in the atmosphere (O2<\/strong>), combined in water (H2O<\/strong>) and giving rise to multiple oxosalts and oxides. The sulfur<\/strong>Meanwhile, it can be found freely in volcanoes, for example, and combined in sulphides and sulfates.<\/p>\n

The uses of ampigens are multiple. If we focus on oxygen, it is used in the medicine<\/strong>, as an oxidizing agent and for bleaching paper. Sulfur is involved in the production of gunpowder, while selenium is used in electronics and electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
