Question

why does first element in each group of the p block element show anomalous behaviour. Explain any two such properties in which this behaviour is shown​

Answer 1

Answer:

The anomalous behavior of every first element in a group is due to the non availability of d-orbital in their valence shell, small size, high electronegativity... Just like carbon, it doesn't have d-orvital like the remaining members of group 4,so can't expand it's covalency to accept more than 4 pairs of electrons
