Write the outer electron configuration of group - 14 elements.

Explanation

The elements of group 14 are Carbon ( C ), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn) and Lead (Pb).
Electronic configurations :
Carbon - `1s^22s^22p^2`
Silicon - `1s^2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2`
Germanium - `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(2)4p^(2)`
Tin - `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(2)4p^(6)4d^(10)5s^(2)5p^(2)`
Lead - `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(2)4p^(6)4d^(10)4f^(14)5s^(2)5p^(6)5d^(10)6s^(2)6p^(2)`
The general outer electronic configuration of group 14 elements is `ns^(2)np^(2)`.
