Q:
What are the group and position numbers of the element Carbon in the periodic table?
A:
Carbon is located in Group 14, Position 2, Block P in the Periodic Table of Elements.
What are Group numbers? Position numbers? Blocks? It all has to do with the
arrangement of elements in the Periodic Table. Elements having certain similiar qualities are grouped closer together in varying patterns... but it's all relative.
