Hydrogen chalcogenide

Water, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen selenide, three simple hydrogen chalcogenides

Hydrogen chalcogenides (also chalcogen hydrides or hydrogen chalcides) are binary compounds of hydrogen with chalcogen atoms (elements of group 16: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and livermorium). Water, the first chemical compound in this series, contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, and is the most common compound on the Earth's surface.^[1]
