(If he were virtuous & good, he would become a Great Horned Owl). In British folklore, a screeching Barn Owl is believed to predict that a storm or cold weather was imminent. During a storm, if a Barn Owl was heard, it indicated that the storm was nearly over.
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). In modern IUPAC notation, it is called Group 14. In the field of semiconductor physics, it is still universally called Group IV.
As would be expected from its place in the periodic table, silicon resembles carbon in many respects. Carbon stands at the head of a family of elements in the fourth group in the periodic table. The elements iron, cobalt, and nickel form a group in the eighth column of the periodic table.
