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.

Which elements are most likely to react in the same manner in a chemical reaction?

A pair of elements in the same group are more likely to have similar properties. This is why groups are also called families. In the main group elements, groups 1,2, 13-18, the elements in a group have the same numbers of valence electrons in their outermost energy levels. This accounts for the fact that they behave in a similar matter in chemical reactions.


Why were the elements Ga Sc and Ge important to Mendeleev?

Mendeleev included gallium (Ga), scandium (Sc), and germanium (Ge) in his periodic table because they filled gaps in the sequence of known elements at the time and helped demonstrate the periodicity of their properties. These elements were crucial in showing the predictive power of Mendeleev's periodic table in suggesting the existence of unknown elements and their properties.
