What other elements have similar properties to carbon?

Answer 1

Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.

Answer 2

1.Carbon(C)

2.Silicon(Si)

3.Germanium(Ge)

4.Tin(Sn)

5.Lead(Pb)

6.ununquadium (Uuq)it is a place holder assigned until the element has given a full name.

Answer 3

The elements contained within a certain elements group (or family) will usually have similar properties to that element. So, for Carbon, it's group contains;

Carbon

Silicon

Germanium

Tin

Lead

All of those will be similar, but the nearer you are to the element, the more similar it will be. So, Silicon will be more similar to Carbon than, for example, Tin.

Answer 4

Boron and others that are that same period because all elements in a period on the periodic table share similar qualities.

Answer 5

The elements that share similar physical properties of carbon are the elements that belong in the same group as carbon. These are silicon, germanium, tin and lead.

Answer 6

Silicon and germanium have chemical properties similar to carbon.

Answer 7

Carbon,Silicon and Germanium has similar properties as they belong to same group 14 of periodic table.They are also known as carbon group elements.

Answer 8

Silicon

Answer 9

Silicon
