Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. Those are t<span>he electrons on an atom that can be gained or lost in a chemical reaction.
</span>Elements that are left on the periodic table <span> have relatively few </span>valence electrons<span>, and can form ions  more easily by losing their </span>valence electrons<span> to form positively charged cations.</span>
<span>Nonmetals are further to the right on the periodic table, so they gain electrons relatively easily and lose them with difficulty. </span>

Elements in group 14 can be classified as non metals, metalloid and metals. Group 14 has C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb as its elements. C is a non metal. Si and Ge are metalloids while Sn and Pb are metals. 

Metalloids are elements which share both non-metallic and metallic characteristics.

The element in group 14, period 3 on the periodic table is Si. Si is a semiconductor means Si can conduct electricity but not good as metals. Conducting electricity ia one of metallic property.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The ionization energy of each successive element generally decreases

Explanation:

The ionization energy increases in the periods of the periodic table and decreases in the groups. If the atom is very small, we will need a lot of energy to release the electron, while if the atom is larger the energy will be greater.
