<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.
That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
(3) Gamma has the greatest penetration power. Alpha has low and both beta and positron have medium. Hope I helped :)
I searched it up on Google and I got 473.176 Hope this helps.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
It is not correct to say that an object with the largest volume has the largest mass.
Mass and volume are not directly related. In fact, the relationship between them can be direct or inverse.
Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Volume is the space a body occupies.
- A balloon and a stone for example is a typical one.
- A balloon has more volume but far lesser mass compared to a stone.
- A stone, gravel sized has low volume but more massive than a balloon.
Therefore, it is wrong to say a balloon has more mass because it has more volume.
