The catenation tendency of C, Si, and Ge...

The catenation tendency of `C, Si`, and `Ge` is in the order `Ge lt Si lt C`. The bond energies (in `kJ mol^(-1)`) of `C-C-, Si-Si`, and `Ge-Ge` bonds, respectively, are

A

167, 180, 348

B

180, 167, 348

C

348, 167, 180

D

348, 180, 167

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The more the bond energy, the more is the catenation.
