12. Do you expect the Group 14 elements to form covalent or ionic compounds? Explain your reasoning.

Group 14?!

I got it. Is the same as group 4. I would say C forms covelent, because it is a non-metal, Si and Ge form both covalent and ionic, because are semi-metals, having the behaviour of both non-metals and metals and the rest ionic, because are metals.
