AP EAMCET · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)
The tendency of catenation in group-14 elements follows the order :
- A \(\mathrm{C}>>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge}>\mathrm{Sn}\)
- B \(\mathrm{C}>>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Sn}>\mathrm{Ge}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{C}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{C}>>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In group 14 , down the group, the size increases and electronegativity decreases, and thereby, tendency to show catenation decreases. The order of catenation is : \(\mathrm{C}>>\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{Ge} \approx \mathrm{Sn}\). Lead does not show catenation. Hence, the correct…
