Carbon, the first member of group 14 ,shows an anomalous behaviour i.e. differ from rest of the members of its family. The main reason for this difference are : 1) exceptionally small atomic size b) higher electronegativity c)higher ionisation enthalpy d) absence of d orbital in the valence shell The main point of differences are: 1) Carbon in form of … [Read more...] about Anomalous Behaviour Of Carbon
