Answer:
Carbon (C)
Explanation:
Carbon is the only nonmetal there and covalent bonds happen between two nonmetal atoms
Both carbon and lead belong to Group IV elements, and thus they have the same number of valence electrons.
<span>In
each of the other options, the two elements belong to different groups,
and thus they do NOT have the same number of valence electrons.
I hope this helped you, please tell me if I am correct or not <3

In an acidic solution, the concentration of H+ is greater than the concentration of OH-. The pH will be less than 7.
In a basic solution, the concentration of OH- is greater than the concentration of H+. The pH will be greater than 7.
In a neutral solution, the concentration of H+ ions to OH-ions will be equal, and will therefore have a pH of 7. (This is due to water autoionization, which we usually ignore because it is small in other circumstances.)
