Answer:

Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.

Explanation:

The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.

For example.

Carbon electronic configuration:

C₆ = [He]  2s² 2p²

Silicon electronic configuration:

Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²

Germanium electronic configuration:

Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²

Tin electronic configuration:

Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²

Lead electronic configuration:

Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²

we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.

12. Which gas has the greatest kinetic energy at STP?
balandron [24]

Answer:

d. none of the above (all have the same kinetic energy)

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases states that the molecules of an ideal gas experience a constant random motion.

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the kinetic energy of an ideal gas such as hydrogen, argon, neon, sodium, oxygen, helium, magnesium, beryllium, nitrogen, carbon, fluorine, chlorine etc are all the same.

The standard temperature and pressure (STP) of an ideal gas is 273K and 100 kPa.

Hence, all of the gases have the same kinetic energy at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Answer ASAP 25 points
kykrilka [37]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is NH_3 is the base and NH_4Cl is the salt.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce salt and water as products.

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

For the given chemical reaction:

NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl

Here, NH_3 is a base because it is accepting proton and HCl is an acid because it is loosing proton.

NH_4Cl is considered as a salt because it is formed by the combination of acid and base.

Hence, the correct answer is NH_3 is the base and NH_4Cl is the salt.
