Correct order of catenation property, is: (A) C>>Si>Ge≈ Sn>>Pb (B) CSi>Sn>Ge>Pb (D) none of the above

Catenation property is the property of some elements (non-metallic) of forming a long chain of atoms of same element e.g., sulphur exist as S8 molecule, P exists as P4 molecule. Catenation property is highest for carbon. It can form a chain of seven thousands of atoms. The catenation power decrease with increase in metallic character. Hence correct order is: C>>Si>Ge≈ Sn>>Pb

Q. Correct order of catenation property, is:

$C >> S i > G e \approx S n >> P b$

$C < S i < G e < S n < P b$

$C > S i > S n > G e > P b$

none of the above

Q. Correct order of catenation property, is:

C>>Si>Ge≈Sn>>Pb

C<Si<Ge<Sn<Pb

C>Si>Sn>Ge>Pb

none of the above

$C >> S i > G e \approx S n >> P b$

$C < S i < G e < S n < P b$

$C > S i > S n > G e > P b$
