Electron-precise nature of group-14 elements
Description In this video, we will discuss the nature of compounds formed by group-14 elements. We will also see how the presence of empty d-orbitals affect the chemistry of these elements. Timestamps 00:58 - Electron-precise compounds. 02:31 - Presence of empty d orbitals. 03:41 - Hydrolysis reactions 05:34 - Summary Practice this concept - “https://www.khanacademy.org/science/inorganic-chemistry-essentials/xa977baede763f033:the-p-block-elements/xa977baede763f033:group-14-elements-the-carbon-family/e/chemical-properties-of-group-14-elements?lang=en” Master the concept of “Electron-precise nature of group-14 elements” through practice exercises and videos - https://www.khanacademy.org/science/inorganic-chemistry-essentials/xa977baede763f033:the-p-block-elements/xa977baede763f033:group-14-elements-the-carbon-family?lang=en Check out more videos and exercises on “The p-block elements” - https://www.khanacademy.org/science/inorganic-chemistry-essentials/xa977baede763f033:the-p-block-elements?lang=en To get you fully ready for your exam and help you fall in love with “subject” name, find the complete bank of exercises and videos for “class and subject name” here - Link to the course.
