Question

An element of group 14 has atomic no.14 . Examine if this element will have metallic properties or not

Answer 1

Explanation:

Elements of group 14 are C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb. Where carbon and silicon are non-metals.

And Ge, Sn, Pb are poor metals. It is known that metals are able to conduct heat and electricity whereas non-metals are not able to conduc heat and electricity.

An element whose atomic number is 14 is silicon and it is a non-metal. Therefore, we can conclude that it will not have metallic properties.
