P-8+Carbon

Carbon groups has six different elements Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and Lead (Pb). Carbon is found in period 2, group 14 and is a nonmetal. Silicon is found in period 3, group 14 and is a metalloid. Germanium is found in period 4, group 14 and is a metalliod. Tin is found in period 5 group 14 and it is a post-transitional metal. Lead is found period 6 group 14 and it is a post-transitional metal.

Three Physical Properties are : Diamond which is one ofthe hardest material. Also, there is graphite. They all have crystal like structures.

Three Chemical Properties are: The melting piont of carbon is 3550 c. The sublamation piont for carbon is 3800 c. Tins melting point 231 c. Silicons melting point 1414 c. Germanium's melting point 938 c. Leads melting point is 327 c.

Interesting Facts: Without carbon it is imposible for life. Carbon is found in stars, comets, and the atmosphere of most planets. Carbon-13 was avalable for $700/g in 1990. Commom uses: Carbon groups are used for penciles and diamonds. Dayah, Michael."Periodic Table of Elements//",ptable//,10/22/09, Periodic Table Design and Interface, 10/26/09.http://www.ptable.com/
