You just look at what vertical row that silicon is, and every element that is in the same vertical row as silicon will have the same lewis dot structure...and this applyes for most elements on the periodic table of elements.                        
 - C, Ge,Sn, Pb:                                                                                                  
all these elements are in the same column, and therefore have the same number of valence electrons

Answer:

Carbon (C), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), and Flerovium (Fl)

Explanation:

Silicon is the element of fourteenth group and third period. The electronic configuration of Silicon is - 2, 8, 4 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2

There are 4 valence electrons of silicon.

Only the valence electrons are shown by dots in the Lewis structure.  

As, stated above, there are four valence electrons of silicon, so in the Lewis structure, four dots are made around the silicon (Si) symbol.

Similarly, the other members of the group 14 have four valence electrons and will have same valence electrons as silicon.

<u>So, the elements are:- Carbon (C), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), and Flerovium (Fl)</u>

S_A_V [24]
The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the carbon-12 atom.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

This question lacks options; the options are:

A) They moved more freely

B) They moved closer together.

C) The average speed increased.

D) The average kinetic energy increased

The answer is B

Explanation:

The water in the beaker is described to be in a liquid state of matter. Its temperature decreases from 50°C to 10°C when placed in a freezer by Kiley. This means that heat is gradually being lost as the liquid water undergoes freezing into a solid state.

When water in a liquid state is freezed, it's molecules, which were moving more freely begin to move closer together because the speed at which the particles in the liquid state moved has been reduced.
