Question

an element A from group 14 of the periodic table combine with an element B from group 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) The resulting compound is a covalent compound since the elements of group 14 and group 16 are non-metals. Therefore, when a non-metal A from group 14 combines with a non-metal B from group 16, electrons are shared between their atoms and a covalent bond is formed.
