    Ge does not react with non-oxidizing acids
    .


    Sn and Pb can react with non-oxidizing acids, but the reaction between Sn and dilute hydrochloric acid is slow.


    Ge, Sn, and Pb can all react with oxidizing acids
    .


    Ge and Sn react with concentrated nitric acid to form the most expensive oxyacid, while Pb reacts with concentrated nitric acid to form Pb(NO 3 ) 2


    Extremely dilute nitric acid reacts with Sn to form tin salt in a low valence state


    3Sn+8HNO 3 =3Sn(NO 3 ) 2 +2NO+4H 2 O

    Ge is hardly soluble in alkali, but Sn and Pb can react with strong alkali and release H 2
