Vedclass · Answer

(A, D) In the carbon family $(Group \ 14)$: $1$. $C$ (Carbon) is a non-metal. $2$. $Si$ (Silicon) is a metalloid. $3$. $Ge$ (Germanium) is a metalloid. $4$. $Sn$ (Tin) and $Pb$ (Lead) are metals. Since both $Si$ and $Ge$ are metalloids,the question as stated has two correct options. However,in many contexts,$Ge$ is specifically highlighted as a metalloid. Given the options,both $Si$ and $Ge$ are metalloids.
