Recall that the periodic table is organized into groups (columns) that share similar chemical properties.
Identify the group numbers and their common names: Group 18 are Noble gases, Group 17 are Halogens, Group 16 are Chalcogens, and Group 15 are Pnictogens.
Recognize that oxygen is a nonmetal element known for forming oxides and is part of the group called Chalcogens.
Understand that Chalcogens (Group 16) include oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium, which share similar chemical behavior.
Therefore, conclude that oxygen belongs to Group 16, the Chalcogens.
