The correct order of catenation is
- A \(C > Sn > Si \approx Ge\)
- B \(Ge > Sn > Si > C\)
- C \(Si > Sn > C > Ge\)
- D \(C > Si > Ge \approx Sn\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(C > Si > Ge \approx Sn\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In this order of catenation is asked. Catenation is a self-linking property here and for group \(14\) : Self-linking is through covalent bonding \(C > Si > Ge \approx Sn\) In \(C\) there is \(2p -2p\) overlapping further \(3p -3p, 4p-4p\) and so on and the extent of overlapping…
