Elements in the same column of the periodic table exhibit similar properties (periodicity). Carbon, in Group XIV (14), and elements below it in the same column react in similar fashion. The most similar element to carbon is silicon (Si).
<span>Lithium chloride is LiCl (because the valence of lithium is +1 and the valence of chlorine is -1). So the chemical equation is: Li Cl(s) ----> Li(s) + Cl2 (g). To balance the equation you need to multilply both Li Cl (s) and Li(s) by two, and then you finally get the balanced equation: 2 LiCl ---> 2 Li(s) + Cl2(g). Note that the number 2 to the right of Cl is a subscript.</span>
