The elements of Group 16 exhibit a number of oxidation states of -2,+2, +4, and +6 but +4 and +6 are more common.As the stability of -2 oxidation state decreases down the group. Polonium rarely shows -2 oxidation state.Since the electronegativity of oxygen is very high it shows -2 oxidation state except OF_{2} where its oxidation state is +2.
