To solve the question, we need to analyze the members of Group 14 (the Carbon Family) and their properties. The members of this group include Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), and Lead (Pb). We will address each part of the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the member that forms the most acidic dioxide:** - Among the members of Group 14, Carbon (C) forms carbon dioxide (CO₂), which is known to be the most acidic oxide. As we move down the group, the acidity of the oxides decreases. Therefore, the answer for this part is: - **Carbon (C)** ...
