Elements of the Carbon Family - Presentation Transcript

  1. Uses for Elements in the Carbon Family Some Interesting Facts
  2. Members of the Carbon Family
    • Carbon
    • Silicon
    • Germanium
    • Tin
    • Lead
  3. What do they have in common?
    • SOME FAMILY…
    • Some are metals, some are nonmetals, and some are metalloids
    • Lead is poisonous, but carbon is essential to life
    • The all look really different
    • BUT…
    • They all have 4 valence electrons.
    • They react in similar ratios with oxygen and other elements.
    • They can form up to 4 bonds – more than any other family!!
  4. Carbon
    • Carbon is found in every living creature.
    • Elemental carbon can be black (graphite), or hard and beautiful (diamonds).
    • Building block of fossil fuels (gasoline and oil)
    • Basis of organic chemistry
  5. Silicon
    • Important semi-conductor used in computer chips, solar cells, and transistors.
    • Second most plentiful element in the earth’s crust.
    • SiO 2 is the main ingredient in glass.
  6. Germanium
    • Important for its semiconductor properties.
    • One of few substances that expand when frozen.
    • Can be recovered from refining zinc ores or from the gases of coal combustion.
  7. Lead
    • Extensively used in plumbing.
    • Used to be added to gasoline to prevent engine knocking.
    • Used to block radiation – very dense metal
    • Neurotoxin – may have contributed to fall of the Roman empire.
  8. Tin
    • Once used to make disposable cans, now cheaper aluminum cans are coated inside with tin.
    • Has been known for centuries and used for it’s relative non-reactivity.
