Some of the salt would settle out. When the water was heated, it was able to absorb more salt than usual. This is known as super saturation. When the water is frozen it cannot hold as much salt, so some of it has to come out.
<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.
