What element is more similar to Si Ge or Pb?
Lead (Pb) is more similar to Silicon (Si) because they are both metalloids, while Germanium (Ge) is also a metalloid but has a slightly different atomic structure than Si and Pb. Lead shares more chemical properties with Silicon, such as forming covalent bonds and having similar physical properties.
Is tin similar in properties to Ge or Sb?
No, it only ressembles to Ge and Pb (group 14) but not to Sb (group 15). The last one is more alike As and Bi
What is the chemical name for Ge?
The chemical name for Ge is Germanium, It was discovered by Mendleev. Its atomic no. is 32 and atomic mass no. is 72.6.
What other elements are in the same group with tin?
Other elements in the same group as tin (Sn) in the periodic table are lead (Pb) and germanium (Ge). These elements belong to Group 14, also known as the carbon group, and share similar chemical properties.
What is the chemical equation of metalloids?
Metalloids are chemical elements; they have not a chemical equation. They have chemical symbols as B, As, Ge, Te, Si, Sb.
