Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation States and Inert pair Effect of Group 14 Elements

The general oxidation states exhibited by the group 14 elements are +4, and +2. As we go down the group, the tendency to form +2 ion increases. This is due to inert pair effect. This effect is exhibited by p-block elements

Explanation:

hope this answer is helpful.

Answer 2

Answer:

The elements of group 14 has 4 valence electrons .
