Catenation tendency in group `14` is:

Catenation under in group 14 :

The correct order of catenation tendency of 14^(th) group elements

The correct order of catenation tendency of 14^(th) group elements

Assertion : Catenation tendency is weaker in nitrogen. Reason : Nitrogen exists as diatomic gas.

Assertion : Catenation tendency is weaker in nitrogen. Reason : Nitrogen exists as diatomic gas.

The maximum catenation tendency of carbon is due to :

The catenating tendency for sulphur is more than that of oxygen . Why ?

What is meant by catenation? How does the catenation tendency for elements of group 14 vary?

Catenation i.e., linking of similar atoms depends on size and electronic configuration of atoms. The tendency of catenation in group 14 elements follows the order.
