Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
It will have a high ionization energy and be a gas at room temperature.
It will exhibit metallic properties and conduct electricity well.
It will have a moderate atomic radius and form covalent bonds.
It will be a highly reactive non-metal with low electronegativity.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Group 14 elements sit between metals and non‑metals. Other options are incorrect because Students think a gas must have a very high ionization energy, but group 14 members are solids at room temperature and have moderate ionization energy; Many think all group 14 elements are metallic conductors.
