======= ####3. The correct order of catenation is
3e0f7ab6f6a50373c3f2dbda6ca2533482a77bed (a) $\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Sn}>\mathrm{Si} \approx \mathrm{Ge}$
(b) $\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Sn}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Ge}$
(c) $\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}$
(d) $\mathrm{Ge}>\mathrm{Sn}>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{C}$
Show Answer
Solution:
- Catenation property is an unique property of group 14 elements. Down the group 14 , catenation power decreases as: $\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}$
$\mathrm{Pb}$ does not show catenation.
