The video tutorial covers Group 16 elements, known as chalcogens, including oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and livermorium. It discusses their electron configurations, properties, and the tendency to complete their outer electron shells. The video also explains the natural occurrence and extraction methods of these elements, their various allotropes, and their industrial applications, such as oxygen in combustion and sulfur in sulfuric acid production. The tutorial highlights the rarity and synthetic nature of some elements like livermorium and the radioactive properties of polonium.

How is livermorium characterized and what is its stability?
