Answer to Problem 7SSC
The element whose chemical behavior is similar to silicon (Si) and lead (Pb) and atomic mass is greater than sulphur but less than of cadmium is Germanium.
Explanation of Solution
The element to be identified should have chemical behavior similar to silicon (Si) and lead (Pb), that means, the element belongs to the group in which Silicon and lead exists. The group where these two elements present is group 14. Group 14 elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). Among these elements, the element whose atomic mass is greater than sulphur (32.065 u)are Ge (72.64 u), Sn (117.81 u)and Pb (207.2 u). Last condition to be followed by the element is it has smaller atomic mass than Cadmium. Atomic mass of Cadmium is 112.411 u. So, the element is Germanium.
Elements belong to same group possess similar physical and chemical properties.
