Abiochemist who is studying the properties of certain sulfur (s)-containing compounds in the body, wonders whether trace amounts of another nonmetallic element might have similar behavior. to which element should she turn her attention? ]

Explanation:

It is known that sulfur is a group 16 element. And, elements which are present in the same tend to show similar chemical properties because they contain same number of valence electrons.

As a result, they tend to show similar chemical reactivity and other similar chemical properties.

All the elements of group 16 are O, S, Se, Te, and Po.

Generally oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule or non-metal. But S and Se exists as polyatomic non-metals.

Thus, we can conclude that she should turn her attention to selenium (Se) element.

the answer is minerals.
