The family that has 6 valence electrons is the oxygen family, also known as Group 16 or chalcogens.

Here's why:

* Valence Electrons: These are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and they are the ones involved in chemical bonding.

* Group 16: Elements in this group (oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium) all have 6 electrons in their outermost shell.
