All the elements of group 14 form tetranaldes of general formula `MX_(4)` which are compounds (except `SnF_(4)` and `PbF_(4)`) and have tetrahedral structure. The stability of these tetrahaldes dec reases as we move from C to Pb. The of `MX_(2)` increases as we move from C to Pb. Tetrahaldes are convalent compounds while dhalides are ionic.
`SiCl_(4)` is easily hydrolysed but `C Cl_(4)` is not. this is because

A

bonding in `SiCl_(4)` is ionic

B

silicon is non-metallic

C

silicon can extand its coordination number beyond four but carbon cannot

D

silicon can form hydrogen bonds but carbon cannot.
