What is a tetravalent impurity?
A tetravalent impurity refers to an impurity that introduces four valence electrons into a material's crystal lattice. These impurities can significantly impact the electrical and optical properties of the material due to their ability to alter the number of charge carriers within the material. Examples include elements like silicon or germanium in a crystal lattice of another material.
Which compounds are tetravalent?
Tetravalent means having 4 valence electrons. The elements in the 14th group are tetravalent. They do not lose or gain electrons. they gain electrons.
Why is carbon is considered tetravalent?
Carbon is considered tetravalent because it has four valence electrons in its outer shell, allowing it to form stable covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons. This enables carbon to form a wide variety of compounds with different structures and properties.
What is carbons oxidation state?

Which metal is tetravalent but does not form an amalgam?
Titanium is a tetravalent metal that does not form an amalgam. Amalgams are alloys of mercury with other metals, but titanium does not easily amalgamate due to its strong chemical inertness and passivation.
Why are there no more than three bonds between carbon?
Because carbon is tetravalent
