  3. Carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

    Carbon (from Latin carbo ' coal ') is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. [13] Carbon makes up about 0.025 percent of Earth's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_group

    The carbon group is a periodic table group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). It lies within the p-block. In modern IUPAC notation, it is called group 14. In the field of semiconductor physics, it is still universally called group IV.

  6. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)

    In the periodic table of the elements, each column is a group. In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) [1] is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table; the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered.

    All carbon atoms have 6 protons, but they can have either 6, 7, or 8 neutrons. Since the mass numbers of these are 12, 13 and 14 respectively, said three isotopes are known as carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 (12 C, 13 C, and 14 C). Natural carbon is a mixture of 12 C (about 98.9%), 13 C (about 1.1%) and about 1 atom per trillion of 14 C.

    Nick Brit the Camel ate an Inky Clam with Crêpes for Supper in Phoenix. Number of consonants denotes number of oxygen atoms. Number of vowels denotes negative charge quantity. Inclusion of the word "ate" signifies that each ends with the letters a-t-e. To use this for the -ite ions, simply subtract one oxygen but keep the charge the same.

  9. Metalloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloid

    Silicon and germanium are obtained from their oxides by heating the oxide with carbon or hydrogen: SiO 2 + C → Si + CO 2; GeO 2 + 2 H 2 → Ge + 2 H 2 O. Arsenic is isolated from its pyrite (FeAsS) or arsenical pyrite (FeAs 2) by heating; alternatively, it can be obtained from its oxide by reduction with carbon: 2 As 2 O 3 + 3 C → 2 As + 3 ...
