<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.
Answer : The wavelength is 
Solution : Given,
frequency = 29.2 Hz
Formula used :

where,
= frequency
= wavelength
c = speed of light = 
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the wavelength.

Therefore, the wavelength is 
#19 due to weathering and erosion the rock from the stream was smoothened and without as much the rock from deep underground was/is very rugged and natural.
#18 Due to wind patterns the sand dunes are blew around and the sands shift and fly around with nothing to keep the sand in place the sand can go long distances or come long distances.
The correct should be A. thousands of galaxies
