This is due to the phenomenon known as the Inert pair effect.
Orbitals shield better with a lower azimuthal quantum number(l). Hence, s orbitals shield better than p which shields better than d which is better than f, etc.
The electronic configuration of Si is [Ne] 3s²3p². The 2s and 2p orbitals are shielding the electrons from the nucleus. So the s and p electrons are ready to be ionized. And hence shows a +4 oxidation state.
Similarly, as we move down the group, atomic size increases, and metallic character also increases. Also, lead is below Si and a lower oxidation state is more stable down the group. Hence lead shows a +2 oxidation state.

Answer : The amount of energy needed to raise one gram of a substance one degree Celsius is a characteristic property known as, Specific heat capacity.
Explanation:
Heat capacity : It is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature by one degree.
Specific heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat required by one gram of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.
The heat required to change the temperature of a substance is related to heat capacity of the substance by the expression as :
where,
C = specific heat capacity
m = mass of a substance
q = heat required
= change in temperature of substance
Hence, the amount of energy needed to raise one gram of a substance one degree Celsius is a characteristic property known as, Specific heat capacity.

Answer:
Explanation:
1) Clayey-loamy soil tends to be excellent at retaining water which is critical for proper growth of wheat thus this kind of soil is preferred.
2) Alex is showing honesty as he informing the villagers about the actual truth and reality (he is not basing his answers on judgements rather he is basing it on scientific knowledge and being honest about it)
