1. Carbon is a nonmetal.
2. Silicon and germanium are metalloids.
3. Tin and lead and flerovium are metals.
4. The title Group 4a is obsolete and incorrect after IUPAC rules; correct is Group 14.

What are the metals in group 1A 2A 3A?
There are several metals in group 5a of the periodic table. These metals include arsenic, antimony, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and dubnium.
Is carbon a group or period?
Carbon is in period 2 on the periodic table of the elements.
What group silicon is in?
Silicon is in Group 4A or 14.
What is silicons group numbers?
Its 4A or 14
Is Lithium in the alkali metal family?
yes lithium belongs to alkali metal family group 1A of the periodic table.....it has similar properties to those metals that have one valence electron in their outer orbit that are sodium Na potassium k rubidium Rb cesium Ce and francium Fr....... they reason they are called alkaline in nature is that they are soluble in water and the name alkali comes from Arabic who discovered sodium and potassium in plant ashes thus the word alkali means plant ashes.....but a better version is that those elements that are soluble in water. don't confuse them with alkaline eath metals Group 2A of the periodic table. hydogen is not considered to be in group 1a but has been given separte place in the periodic table because it has similar properties with Group 1a,4a and 7a. H group 1 group 2 group 3 group 4 group 5 group 6 group 7 group 8 you can ask the details from your class teacher that why it has similar properties with 4a and 7a since it has one electron in its valence orbit shouldn't it be placed in group 1a according to electronic configuration ?

What is the evidence that suggests that hydrogen should be in the first column of the periodic table?
Hydrogen is a unique element of the Periodic Table. Due to its similarities in properties it can be placed at the top of group 1A or 4A or 7A.
Group consists of at least one metal one nonmetal?
1a 4a
What are group 1 metals?
Alkaline earth are group2 metals in the periodic table of elements.
What elements that are most like Carbon?
Si, Ge - column 4A on the periodic table
How does lead position in the periodic table?
Lead (Pb) on the periodic table can have a 2+ or 4+ charge.
How do you justify the position of hydrogen at the top of various groups?
Hydrogen is a unique element of the Periodic Table. Due to its similarities in properties it can be placed at the top of group 1A or 4A or 7A.
What are the metals in group 1A 2A 3A?
There are several metals in group 5a of the periodic table. These metals include arsenic, antimony, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and dubnium.
Which element is located in the s block period 4 and group 1?
On the periodic table group 4A is carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. (aka "The Carbon Group")
Which group contains elements with the most varied properties?
Groups 3-12 have elements with the most diverse set of properties in the periodic table. They are transition elements.
What lines can be broken down tables into groups on periodic table?
groups 1a,2a,3a,4a,5a,6a,7a,8a : elements of each group generally have similar properties do to similar #s of valence e-s.
Which element is least likely to form an ion?
It's necessary to see the table you are referencing to answer this question
What is the characteristics of the group 4A in the periodic table?
These elements are hard refractory metals. Titanium's mechanical properties make it useful in alloys. All isotopes of rutherfordium are radioactive, and have been synthesized in the laboratory, none of them have been found occurring in nature. (Answer Improvement). There's a little confusion here - titanium and rutherfordium are elements of Group 4B of the periodic table, not 4A. Group 4A is often referred to as the Carbon Group and contains carbon (a non-metal), silicon and germanium (metaloids), and tin and lead (metals). Each of these elements contains 4 electrons in its outer shell (the p2 orbital). There is also a synthetic element referred to as ununquadium, which is short-lived and is created by shooting calcium-48 into plutonium-244. The element only lasts approximately 30 seconds before decaying into copernicium - which itself is also very short-lived. But the 4 electrons in the outer orbit is the common thread to all the elements in this group.
