As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

#SPJ4
Answer:
3
Explanation:
the three elements involved in this compound are Li, S, O.
lithium, sulfur, and oxygen. Which create the ionic compound, "Lithium Sulfate."
7 atoms total, since there are two lithium, four oxygen, and one sulfate atom. this is a white inorganic salt.
Answer:
The correct answer is reduction.
Explanation:
Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas and get reduced to form ammonia. In this reaction.This is important reaction of atmospheric nitrogen fixation.The reaction is carried out by many nitrogen fixing bacteria such as Azotobacter,Clostridium etc.
N2+3H2+6e- = 2NH3
Answer:
2 electrons
E. neon
Explanation:
Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is
1s² 2s² 2p6⁶ 3s²
When magnesium loses 2 electrons, it acquires the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons).
