A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
An isolated, neutral group 14 atom has the s 2 p 2 configuration in the ground state. These elements, especially carbon and silicon, have a strong propensity for covalent bonding, which usually brings the outer shell to eight electrons. Bonds in these elements often lead to hybridisation where distinct s and p characters of the
In the periodic table of the elements, each column is a group. In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) [1] is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table; the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered.
The other group 14 elements have a lower tendency to catenate. Hydrosilicons ( binary silicon-hydrogen compounds ), a silicon analogs of hydrocarbons, such as silanes Si n H 2 n +2 are known for n = 1–8, in which thermal stability decreasing as n increases (e.g. silane SiH 4 and disilane Si 2 H 6 ), as are cyclosilanes (e.g. cyclopentasilane ...

In the group 15 elements the neutral nitrogen carbene analog (RN) is called a nitrene. The phosphorus analog is a phosphinidene . There are charged group 15 carbene analogs as well, most notably phosphenium ions (R 2 P + ) which are isolobal with (hetero-)carbenes possessing a singlet ground state.
Flerovium is the heaviest known member of group 14, below lead, and is projected to be the second member of the 7p series of elements. Nihonium and flerovium are expected to form a very short subperiod corresponding to the filling of the 7p 1/2 orbital, coming between the filling of the 6d 5/2 and 7p 3/2 subshells.
Atomic radius of elements of the groups 2, 13 and 14, showing the "d-block contraction", especially for Ga and Ge. The d-block contraction (sometimes called scandide contraction [1]) is a term used in chemistry to describe the effect of having full d orbitals on the period 4 elements.
