Group 4a (or 14) elements have electrons in their valence shell. a. 2 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements of group 4A include carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead.

Also, it is known that valence shell is the shell which is present in the outermost side of an element.

Hence, the electrons present in this outermost shell are known as valence electrons.

For example, atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is .

This means that there are 4 electrons present in the outermost shell.

Thus, we can conclude that group 4A (or 14) elements have 4 electrons in their valence shell.

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).

i wish i could but this one is weird give me abc and i can solve it.
