Reaction  of group (IV) with sodium hydroxide

C does not react.

Si Ge and Sn react liberating hydrogen and silicate (IV), germates (IV) and stannates (IV) respectively

Si (s) + 2NaOH(aq) + H₂O(l)  →   Na₂SiO₃(aq) + 2H₂(l)

Lead reacts to form plumbates (II).

Pb(s) + 2NaOH(aq)  →   Na₂PbO₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
