Question

catenation ,i.e linking of similar atoms depends on size and electronic configuration inof atoms . the tendency of catenation in group 14 elements follows the order a)C>Si>Ge>Sn b)C>Si>Ge>=Sn c)Si>C>Sn>Ge d)Ge.Sn>Si>C

Phanindra · Answer

First option is the correct answer...It is because Carbon can form large number of compounds...Mainly Diamond,Graphite,Fullerenes....Also carbon compounds..which you will study in organic chemistry...

Varon · Answer

option(b) is the correct answer. the tendency to form long open or closed atom chains by combination of some atoms in themselves is known as catenation . the catenation is maximum in carbon and decreases down the group C>>Si>Ge=Sn>Pb this is due to high bond energy of C-C bonds .down the group ,size increases and electonegativity decreases,therby,tendency to show catenation decreases.
