Chemistry Probrem: Organic + Periodicity

After several feedback from my friend, I have decided Organic Chemistry and Periodicity will be reviewed in this post (and may continue, due to demand or difficulty).

Starting with organic chemistry, to tackle most problems regarding reagents and resulting product, I will be distributing some copies from my "Holy Baibal". It will be ready at the latest on Monday, 4th of April.

For periodicity..............

Starting from Group IV.

One common problem. Oxides and chlorides of Group IV is different from its element (C,Si,Ge). Don't mix it up. Read the questions carefully. They will have completely different reactivity and physical property.

Group IV oxides: carbon dioxide is an acidic gas as well as silicon(IV) oxide. Carbon monoxide is a neutral gas on the other hand. The rest of the Group IV oxides are amphoteric. Their reactions:
