Group number 14 consists of one nonmetal (carbon), two metalloids (silicon and germanium), and two metals (tin and lead). The elements in the Carbon Family have a melting point of 6332 degrees and a boiling point of 8721 degrees fahrenheit. Carbon also forms many compounds that are necessary for all living things on Earth. Some examples are, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The metalloids silicon and germanium are used to make computer chips and the metal tin is used to keep steel from rusting.
