Unlocking Carbon's Secrets Electronic Configurations and Valency in the Carbon Family

The video tutorial covers Group 4 elements, including carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. It explains their atomic numbers and electronic configurations, highlighting that the differentiating electron enters the P orbital, classifying them as P block elements. Carbon is used as an example, with its atomic number and electronic configuration detailed. The general outermost electronic configuration of Group 4 elements is NS2NP2, with four valence electrons.
