AP EAMCET · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)
Carbon and germanium belong to the 14 th group. The maximum coordination number of carbon is less than germanium, because of
- A larger size of germanium
- B electronegativity difference
- C availability of low-lying \(d\)-orbitals in germanium
- D electrical conductivity
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) availability of low-lying \(d\)-orbitals in germanium
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Coordination number of an element depends on the availability of valence shells. Since, carbon is placed in 2nd period and electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{C}_6\) is \(1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^2\). It do not have vacant \(d\)-orbital. Therefore, it has covalency of 4 . While…
