Which of the following elements would be expected to resemble germanium (ge) most closely in chemical properties? 1.cu 2.zn 3.sn 4.na 5.ga

3. Sn  

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate the elements in the Periodic Table.

The ones with the most similar properties will be next to each other in the same Group.

Sn is just below Ge in Group 14, so Sn is most like Ge.

Ga, Zn, Cu, and Na are progressively further from Ge in the Periodic Table, so they have quite different properties.

Here are some of the properties of Ge and Sn.

Most common oxidation state = +4

Halide                                        = MX₄

Oxide                                         = MO₂

Type of oxide                            = amphoteric

Electronegativity                       = 2.0

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
