what can be stated for a particular element if only the group number of 14 is known?

Question

the element has 4 valence electrons
the element has 14 protons
the element has 4 electrons
the element has 14 neutrons

Answer 1

If only the group number of 14 is known, it can be stated that the element has 4 valence electrons. Group 14 elements, also known as the carbon group, have 4 valence electrons in their outermost energy level. However, it cannot be determined from the group number alone how many protons, electrons, or neutrons the element has.
