similar properties.
O and Se are both in Group 16 (the chalcogens) of the periodic table, so they have the same number of valence electrons and exhibit similar chemical behavior. They do not have the same number of neutrons or electron orbitals (O is period 2, Se is period 4), and their conductivities differ (O is a nonmetal gas, Se is a semiconductor/semimetal).
