Top JEE Main Questions
- In a hydrogen like atom, when an electron jumps from the $M$ - shell to the $L$ - shell, the wavelength of emitted radiation is $\lambda$. If an electron jumps from $N$-shell to the $L$-shell, the wavelength of emitted radiation will be :
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:

Concepts Used:
Group 14 Elements
The group 14 elements are also known as the carbon group. Sometimes it is also called crystallogens. The group 14 elements can be found on the right side of the periodic table. The elements of the carbon group are:
- Carbon - C
- Silicon - Si
- Germanium - Ge
- Tin - Sn
- Lead - Pb
- Flerovium - FI
The group 14 elements or the carbon family belongs to the p-block of the periodic table. The carbon group is also the second group in the p-block.
Electronic Configuration:
The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of a molecule or atom is known as electronic configuration. The general electronic configuration of the group 14 elements is ns2np2.
All group 14 elements have 4 electrons in the outer shell. Hence, the valency of the carbon family or group 14 elements is 4.
Properties of Group 14 Elements:
- Covalent Radii
- Ionization Enthalpy
- Electronegativity
- Metallic Character
- Density
- Four Covalent Compounds
- The Melting and Boiling Points
