What is Group 14 element?
The '''Group 14 elements''', also known as the '''carbon group''' and the '''Group IV elements''', is a [[group (periodic table)|group]] of [[chemical element|elements]] on the [[periodic table]]. Each element has 4 valence electrons. Only [[carbon]] makes [[anion]]s. [[Silicon]] and [[germanium]] are [[semimetal]]s. [[Tin]] and [[lead]] are [[poor metal]]s. [[Flerovium]], a [[radioactive]] element, is not stable enough to see its properties. All of them can form +4 [[oxidation state]] compounds. Tin and lead can form +2 compounds, too. <gallery> File:Carbon black.jpg|Carbon File:Silicon.jpg|Silicon File:Germanium.jpg|Germanium File:Tin-2.jpg|Tin File:Lead.jpg|Lead </gallery> {{Periodic Table}} {{chem-stub}} [[Category:Groups (periodic table)|14]]
