<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.
Covalent network. <span>A solid that is extremely hard, that has a very high melting point, and that will not conduct electricity either as a solid or when molten is held together by a continuous three-dimensional network of covalent bonds. Examples include diamond, quartz (SiO </span><span>2 </span>), and silicon carbide (SiC). The electrons are constrained in pairs to a region on a line between the centers of pairs of atoms.<span>

Vapor Pressure: Measures how a substance is likey to evaporate
Surface Tension: is the attraction between liquid molecules.
Plasma: is an organic and inorganic substance that is typically found in blood
Answer:
five half lives
Explanation:
Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.
How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:
100% - 50% : First Half life
50% - 25%: Second Half life
25% - 12.5%: Third Half life
12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life
6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life
This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.
It's a surface current because it's driven by the winds near the equator.
