The carbon family consists of the elements carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Atoms of elements in this group have four valence electrons. The carbon family is also known as the carbon group, group 14, or the tetrels. Elements in this family are of key importance for semiconductor technology.
Explanation:
Hope this helps? :))
They have the same number of electrons
Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
No, Heat moves from concentrations of high to low.
Answer:
Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.
Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.
Explanation:
The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.
