it is also given fr CO poisning fr artificial respiration
9)HF is used for etching of glasss
10)ionic character ...
PbF2 >PbCI2 > PbBr2 > PbI2
11)IONISATION ENERGY
C > Si > Ge > Sn < Pb
(this is nt a mistake bt Sn has lowest)
12)Si doesnot form monoxides while all the members of the group form monoxides
13)Talc is pure magnesium silicate 3MgO . 4SiO2 . H2O
14)HCI REACTS WITH SiCI4 to formH2SiCI6
15)WHEN tin is bend , it produces a cracking sound called tin sry due to rubbing of crystals over one another
