The element with atomic number 14 is hard and forms acidic oxide and a covalent halide. To which of the following categories does the element belong?
Metal
Metalloid
Non-metal
Left-hand side element

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

Correct Answer: (c) Non-metal

Explanation: As the element's outermost shell has 4 electrons. So, it is a non-metal. Non-metal forms acidic oxide and by sharing electrons with halogen, it forms covalent halide.
