Look over these statements about the chemical elements in one or more main-block groups of the Periodic Table: • Most of the elements in this group react with fluorine to form ionic compounds that are not soluble in water. • Elements in this group have one common oxidation state, which is positive. • Elements in this group are metals with the highest average melting points of all the main-group metals. • Most of the elements in this group react with oxygen to form basic oxides. Note: none of these statements apply to hydrogen, which for the purposes of this problem we leave out of Group 1A. Are all of these statements true for the same group? For example, if all of these statements are true about the elements in Group 1A, you should answer yes. But if some statements are true for the elements in Group 1A and some others are true only for elements in Group 2A, you should answer no. If you answered yes, what is the group? O yes O no

Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water. How many moles of Si(OH)4 form when 4.01 moles of H2O react with an excess of SiCl4?
