Answer 1

Group 4A (or IVA) of the periodic table includes the nonmetal carbon (C), the metalloids silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), the metals tin (Sn) and lead (Pb), and the yet-unnamed artificially-produced element ununquadium (Uuq). The Group 4A elements have four valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2np2).

• on the left-most side - alkali metals
• on the right side - Non-Metals
• in the middle column of the periodic table - transition metals
• in the bottom row - lanthanides and the actinides
