The correct order of melting point of group 16 elements is: (a) O < S < Se < Te > Po(b) Po < S < Se < Te < O(c) SO < Se < Te < Po(d) Te < O < Po < Se < S |

Answer» (a) O < S < Se < Te > Po As we go down the group as the metallic character increases, the melting point increases for group 16 elements. But due to its packed structure and lesser shielding of electrons, Te has the highest melting point among them. So, the correct order is O < S < Se < Te > Po |
