<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.
The rate of reaction would increase because as pressure increases the molecules are more likely to bump into each other leading to a more likely hood of the molecules colliding properly to react leading to an increase in the reaction rate of the substance.
Answer:
Only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characters in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.
Explanation:
According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
The elements are in the same column/group IIA.
See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
The elements Calcium, Strontium, Beryllium, Magnesium, Barium and Radio, belong to the group of alkaline earth metals located in group IIA of the periodic table, they require 2 electrons to complete their octet (they have 2 valence electrons). reagents than alkali metals.
Answer:
Enthalpy is the amount of heat released or absorb. The total enthalpy can be found by subtracting the products' enthalpy by the reactants' enthalpy
