Color: Black if graphite, transparent if diamond
Density: 2.26 g/cm³
Conductivity: If carbon is in the form of graphite it is a good conductor of electricity. Carbon can not be good as a conductor of energy if it is forming covalent bonds.
Electron Configuration:  [He] 2s2 2p2 
Valence Electrons: 4
Non-metal
Carbon is the most important element to life. Without Carbon life itself would not exist. It is considered an element. ]]> 2019-09-18 17:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jebediahd2423/qgv53fjf6fdq/wish/386103771 jebediahd2423 https://padlet.com/jebediahd2423/qgv53fjf6fdq/wish/386103936 State: Solid
Color: Silver
Density: 
2.33 g.cm ^-3 
Conductivity: Silicon is a semiconductor so it can conduct electricity and become an insulator based on it's varying properties.
Electron Configuration:    Ne 3s2 3p2 
Valence Electrons: 4
Metalloid
Silicon is found in the earth's crust and is the second most abundant element after oxygen. It is used to make computers, microelectronics, computer chips, and is the most common element in sand. It is considered a compound because it is never found as a free element, it is always linked with another.

Density: 5.323 g/cm³
Conductivity: Germanium is not a good conductor of electricity very well but it is a semiconductor. 
Electron Configuration:                   Ar 3d10 4s2 4p2 
Valence Electrons: 4
Metalloid
Germanium is not found free in nature but it can be found in coal. It is mostly used as a semiconductor. When linked with other particles it is used to make transistors that will be used in electronic devices. Germanium is considered a compound.]]> 2019-09-18 17:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jebediahd2423/qgv53fjf6fdq/wish/386103994 katherinec1482 https://padlet.com/jebediahd2423/qgv53fjf6fdq/wish/386106013 State: Solid
