    True

    Explanation:

    Hello,

    As long as the group VIA elements have 6 valence electrons (electrons at the outermost shell) they just need two electrons to attain the octate, it means that the resulting charge must be - 2. In such a way, since VIIA elements have 7 valence electrons, they just need one electron to attain the octate, it means that the resulting charge must be - 1.

    Best regards.
