Answer:
Silicon
Explanation:
One of the most similar elements to carbon on periodic table is silicon. Several compounds formed between carbon or silicon and other elements are identical.
Carbon is an element found in life forms as a building block while silicon is a building block of machine components such as semiconductors
Silicon is an element that can sustain bonds, similar to carbon bonds and it is situated directly under carbon on the periodic table
A bigger difference in electronegativity between two molecules means higher polarity and a stronger bond. Electronegativity increases on the periodic table as you go up a group and to the right. Ex: CsF has a very high polarity
Strongest reducing agents are in Group 1 . For example lithium. The strongest oxidising agents are in Group 7 , For example Fluorine.
It is B: Fixed volume, takes the shape of the container
