why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.

Answer:

Because of their intermediate electronegativity

Explanation:

First of all, any element of the periodic table interacts with other atoms to complete the octet in its last atomic level and achive stability, either losing or gaining electrons.  

Group 14 elements have 4 electrons in the last level, so it would seem that for they its the same to lose or gain electrons. But actually its neither, for them is easier to share the electrons with other atoms.

This is because they don't have a <u>very high electronegativity</u> (making them able to steal electrons) nor a <u>very low electronegtivity </u>(making them anle to release electrons).

This intermediate electronegativity is the responsable of the sharing of electrons.

Complete the equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar (sucrose). C12H22O11 + 11 H2SO4 ? 12 + 11 H2SO4 + 11
serg [7]

Answer :

The complete equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar is,

C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+11 H_2SO_4\rightarrow 12C+11H_2SO_4+11H_2O

By the stoichiometry of the reaction,

1 mole of sucrose react with the 11 moles of sulfuric acid to give 12 moles of carbon and 11 moles of water.

In this reaction, sulfuric acid react with sucrose (sugar). It dehydrates the sugar molecules which means it eliminates the water.

Answer is: 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Structure of this alkene is in Word document attached.
<span>First find main chain with longest number of carbon atoms, that is chain with seven carbon atoms and it start on the right and going up the three-carbon attachment.
Main chain has double bond between first and second carbon (</span><span>the lowest number)</span><span>, so it is 1-heptene (alkene).
</span>Substituent is on fourth carbon atom, it is alkyl group with two carbon atoms (ethyl).
