Answer: The correct answer is option(4).

Explanation:

Metal have property of readily loosing an electron.

When we move down the group , atomic size of the atom increases by which valence electrons move far away from the nucleus. And ability to loose an electron(s) from the valence shell also increases. Hence, metallic character increases on moving down the group.

From the given options of elements of group 14,tin will be last element in the group with the highest metallic character than the carbon , germanium and silicon.

Hence, the correct answer is tin(Sn).

I would say that the answer is Sn.
C-is a non-metal
Ge-is a metalliod (consists both non-metal and metal)
Si -is a metalloid
Sn- is a pure metal

Put the following in the correct chronological order from what happened first to what happened last.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

2-3-1-4

Explanation:

The astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did not have a theory about the Earth revolving around the sun until he got into astronomy and began to study the patterns of the sun and the moon as well as reading other entries from previous astronomers. You can pretty much guess from there, he had to have the theory before proving it etc.

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest? A

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct

N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

Explanation:

Total electrons for all the species = 10

So these are iso electronic with each other.

We know

Ionic radii ∝ $\frac{Magnitude of Negative Charge}{Magnitude of Positive Charge}$

Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons

Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Which element does this Bohr model represent? (look at a periodic table if needed)

Serjik [45]

Circulating round the nucleus are the electrons in various orbits of different energy levels. Electrons are negatively charged and represented by the symbol 'e'. In the given image the number of protons are -6. Hence the element in question is Carbon as Carbon has the atomic number 6.
