Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is formed by a p-block element?
  • Step 1: Identify what a p-block element is. P-block elements are found in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table.
  • Step 2: Look at the compounds given in the question. We need to find out which one is formed from a p-block element.
  • Step 3: Check the elements in the compound SiO2. It contains Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O).
  • Step 4: Determine if Silicon is a p-block element. Silicon is in group 14, which is part of the p-block.
  • Step 5: Determine if Oxygen is a p-block element. Oxygen is in group 16, which is also part of the p-block.
  • Step 6: Since SiO2 is formed from Silicon and Oxygen, both of which are p-block elements, we conclude that SiO2 is formed by a p-block element.
