Question: Correct order of stability of hydrides of carbon family is
Options:
A) $ CH_4>SiH_4>GeH_4>SnH_4>PbH_4 $
B) $ CH_4<SiH_4,<GeH_4<SnH_4<PbH_4 $
C) $ CH_4.>SnH_4,>GeH_4>SnH_4>PbH_4 $
D) None of the above
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Hydride of carbon family is stable when carbon is near to nucleus, thus its attraction is more toward valence shell electron so, it is more stable $ CH_4>SiH_4>GeH_4>SnH_4>PbH_4 $
