Carbon and Silicon are known to have similar lattice structures. However, the four bonding electrons of carbon are present in second orbit while those of silicon are present in its third orbit. How does this difference result in a difference in their electrical conductivities?

Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to (Eg)_C , (Eg)_Si and (Eg)_ Ge . Which of the following statements is true?

Phosphorus forms a variety of oxyacids. In all these, phosphorus is sp^3 hybridised and is tetrahedrally bonded to four neighbouring atoms. These contain P-OH bonds, the hydrogen of which are ionisable giving acidic character to these compounds. These also contain P-H bonds in which hydrogens are notionisable because P and H have nearly same electronegativity. The presence of P-H group in these oxyacids is responsible for their reducing properties. The structures of some oxyacids are given below : Answer the following (1 to 7) questions : The oxyacid of P having tetrabasicity is
