`C(OH)_(4)` is unstable because a carbon atom cannot hold more than one `-OH` groups but `Si(OH)_(4)` is a stable compound because

A

`C-O` bond energy is low

B

`C-O` bond energy is high

C

`Si-O` bond energy is low

D

`Si-O` bond energy is high

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
`C(OH)_(4)` is unstable because acarbon atom cannot hold more than one `-OH` group but `Si(OH)_(4)` is a stable compoumd because `C-O` bond energy is low.
