The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids orliquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid

The element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.

monitta

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

$\tt 73-32=41$
