24.4 Relative Stability of +2 and +4 Oxidation States The stability of +2 and +4 oxidation states +4 compounds at the top of the Group is more stable than at the bottom. +2 compounds at the bottom of the Group is more stable than at the top. For carbon, carbon...
24.3 Group IV Oxides Introduction to Group IV oxides Group IV elements form two types of oxides: monoxide and dioxide. This is because the elements have two possible oxidation states, +2 and +4. Monoxides include: carbon monoxide, CO silicon...
24.2 Group IV Chlorides Introduction to Group IV chlorides All Group IV chlorides are simple covalent molecules which exist as liquid at room temperature with the general formula of XCl4, where X = A Group IV element. All of them have a tetrahedral shape...
24.1 Physical Properties of Group IV Elements Introduction to Group IV elements Group IV elements are p-block elements with a characteristic outer shell configuration of ns²np². Group IV elements exist in two different oxidation states, +2 and +4 states. The +2...
CHAPTER 24: Group IV Physical Properties of Group IV Elements Group IV Chlorides Group IV Oxides Relative Stability of +2 and +4 Oxidation States Learning outcomes: outline the variation in melting point and in electrical conductivity of the elements...
