The order of the answers are as follows:
B
C
D
A
Answer:
Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.
Explanation:
The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.
For example.
Carbon electronic configuration:
C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²
Silicon electronic configuration:
Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²
Germanium electronic configuration:
Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²
Tin electronic configuration:
Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²
Lead electronic configuration:
Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²
we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.
Explanation:
example is copper iron...........
The purpose is that it shows you all the elements we know and it arranges them in groups that are also the same kind like Chemistry.
