Which of the following statements is // are correct

Answer»

Catenation is the property of self linking of identical atoms among themselves giving rise to CHAINS and rings
Carbon and silicon have the remarkable property of catenation
Catenation power of carbon is more than that of silicon
Catenation power of carbon is less than of silicon

Solution :(ABC ) Due to their HIGH bond dissociation energies, the M-M bonds in carbon and silicon (C -C bond Si-Si) are extremely stable. In carbon ATOM the number of 4 valenceorbitalas ( one 2s `+` THREE 2p). Thus carbon is tetravalnet state is fully saturated, because it has neither VACANT orbital nor any lone pair of electrons on its atom due to which C-C bond is extremelystable
