Carbon, silicon and germanium have four ...

Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to `(E_(g))_(C),(E_(g))_(Si)` and `(E_(g))_(Ge)`. Which of the following statements is true?

A

`(E_(g))_(Si) lt (E_(g))_(Ge) lt (E_(g))_(C)`

B

`(E_(g))_(C) lt (E_(g))_(Ge) gt (E_(g))_(Si)`

C

`(E_(g))_(C) gt (E_(g))_(Si) gt (E_(g))_(Ge)`

D

`(E_(g))_(C) = (E_(g))_(Si) = (E_(g))_(Ge)`

The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of solutions have a number of partical applications. Ethylene glycol (CH_(2)OH-CH_(2)OH) is used in automobile radiatiors as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for the boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol (CH_(3)OH) , a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at 65^(@)C , is sometimes used as an antifreeze in automobile radiators. 124 g each of the two reagents glycol and glycerol are added in 5 kg of water of the radiators in two cars.

Vladimir Markovnikov rule : Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. It is triggered by the acid acting as a electrophile toward t-electrons of the double bond. Markovnikov's rule states that when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that has the greater number of hydrogen, e.g., Which of the following is most reactive toward Markovnikov addition ?
