Silicon
Silicon has the chemical properties that are most similar to those of carbon.
An example of an exothermic reaction will be formation of ice
Carbon, Lead and Silicon all have the same amount of valence electrons as Germanium. This can be determined by looking at their position on the periodic table. Within each column (group) all the elements have the same amount of valence electrons. This explains why they will all have very similar chemical properties.
Answer:
Electromeric effect refers to a molecular polarizability effect occurring by an intramolecular electron displacement (sometimes called the 'conjugative mechanism' and, previously, the 'tautomeric mechanism') characterized by the substitution of one electron pair for another within the same atomic octet of electrons.
