<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.
That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
Answer: it’s number 2 add a catalyst
Hopefully this helped :)
Hydrocarbons are a type of organic compound. Hydrocarbons contains a carbon, hydrogen and oxygen bond that makes it
organic. Chlorides, carbonates and nitrous oxides are not organic compounds but

Astronauts use "Astronomical Unit" to measure the distance between planets in our solar system "only". To measure long distances like between 2 galaxies, they use "light years". One Astronomical Unit = Average distance between sun and earth which is equal to 149.6 million kilometers. Ping me if you have any doubt.
