Topic Name : Group 14 Elements: The Carbon Family |
|
Sub Topic Name : Physical Properties |
• All group 14 members are solids. • Carbon and silicon are non-metals. • Germanium is a metalloid. • Tin and lead are soft metals with low melting points. • Melting points and boiling points of group 14 elements are much higher than those of corresponding elements of group 13.
Elements, periodic table, Group, physical properties
• Group 14 has carbon, silicon which is found in the earth’s crust. • Carbon dating is done by using the C-14 isotope.
