Q40.The correct order of catenation is: (1) Ge > Sn > Si > C (2) C > Sn > Si ≈Ge (3) C > Si > Ge ≈Sn (4) Si > Sn > C > Ge
What This Question Tests
This question requires recalling the trend of catenation ability within Group 14 elements, which generally decreases down the group due to decreasing bond strength.
