(a)
Interpretation: Nonmetal from group 4A is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The periodic table is a columnar structure that organizes different elements into groups based on how they behave. The elements in the periodic table of today are ordered according to the periodic law. The elements are organized in the modern periodic table in increasing order of their
(a)
Answer to Problem 50A
C
Explanation of Solution
Group 4A elements are carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. Among group 4A elements carbon is a nonmetal. The symbol of carbon is C.
Thus, the nonmetal of group 4A is C.
(b)
Interpretation: The inner transition metal with the lowest atomic number is to be identified.

(c)
Answer to Problem 50A
B, Ne, P, Br, and At
Explanation of Solution
Nonmetals having an atomic number multiple of five are:
Boron (B): atomic number 5
Neon (Ne): atomic number 10
Phosphorous (P): atomic number 15
Bromine (Br): atomic number 35
Astatine (At): atomic number 85
(d)
Interpretation: Metal from group 5A is to be identified.
