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.

If X is an equivalent base to H₂O
HX is an equivalent acid to H₃O⁺
HX is a stronger acid than H₃O⁺
HX is not an acid
X⁻ is a stronger base than H₂O
HX is a weaker acid than H₃O⁺
X⁻ is a weaker base than H₂O
X⁻ is not a base.

The correct response or this is 
X⁻ is a stronger base than H₂O
HX is a weaker acid than H₃O⁺

If you go from the Earth to the Moon, will your MASS change?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

No matter if you are on Earth, the moon or just chilling in space, your mass does not change. But your weight depends on the gravity force; you would weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in space you would weigh almost nothing at all.
