Question

The element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.

Answer 1

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

Further explanation

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

`\tt 73-32=41`
