Periodic Table Part 5: Carbon Group (C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Fl)

It's time to check out Group 14 on the periodic table, the carbon group. This includes carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium. What can we say about their properties, reactivities, and applications? Let's find out!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

As a middle school student I really appreciate Professor Dave. I adore my own science teacher but It’s gift to continue studying the field outside of class. Great video, thank you!

Finding this made me realise how much I actually enjoyed this at school. It all came flooding back.

Periodic Table of Elements is my favorite class

Aminizing lecture
I am from India ...
Thank you!

I graduated high school 5 years ago, but chemistry was one of my favorite classes (I failed it in college, but it was online so I was doomed to fail anyway) and it's fun to go back to the basics

Tin is also used to make glass. Every window pane was once a thick liquid, slowly cooling on a river of molten tin.

Magnificent bro can you make a series in which you told about the rules which is not valid now a days but we are still studying in schools

I can imagine a middle school class in 2046 being shown this video from their teacher in science class

Prof. Dave, I just want to tell you that your videos have rescued me through a lot when it comes to my academics. Your videos provided me excellent insights on most of the basic concepts that I need to learn (P.S. I am not that good at chemistry).

Thanks a lot for your hard work and making us understand these topics. 🤍

babe wake up, professor dave made another periodic table group video

[mahdikassem]

I wish you make videos explaining the alpha/imat test's lessons

[TheRojo]

A'ight, the most useful chemical group, the crystallogens!

[nesaesmaeilian]

Thank you, professor. It will be more useful for students whom English is their second language, if you talk slower, please.

[Haytidaho]

Thanks for this great content 😄

A great book related to this topic (periodic table) is "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean

I'm curious. Why does the pi bond occur in carbon disulfide but not silicon dioxide?

[bassplayer]

Dave, can you do a video on the concept of a "Space Elevator" and all the physics involved? It is even possible?

[GBXKokushibo]

Can you help me i have a metal that has a similar appearance to gold but it's compounds are pyc and i believe that is phosphorus, yttrium and carbon but i dont know the name of the element when combined.

Could stable Isotopes of Flurovium (or any other synthetic Transactinide for that matter) be ever manufactured? Perhaps ones that only have a half-life in days, or perhaps months (rather than fractions of a second).

I dunno if this could ever make them useful, but at least we could learn more about their Physical, Chemical (& perhaps Quantum) properties.

Doesn't carbon have a +2 oxidisation state in Carbon monoxide and cyanide
