Arrange the following in decreasing order of boiling point giving reas

1.	Arrange the following in decreasing order of boiling point giving reason CH4, GeH4, SnH4, SiH4
Answer» SnH₄ > GeH₄ > SiH₄> CH₄ As we go down the group from C to Sn surface area of hydrides increases therefore, Van der Waals’ force increases hence boiling point increases.

Arrange the following in decreasing order of boiling point giving reason CH4, GeH4, SnH4, SiH4

Answer»

SnH₄ > GeH₄ > SiH₄> CH₄

As we go down the group from C to Sn surface area of hydrides increases therefore, Van der Waals’ force increases hence boiling point increases.
