The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the presence of p pi - p pi multiple bonds, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding p pi - p pi Bonds**: - p pi - p pi bonds are formed when two p orbitals from different atoms overlap sideways. This type of bonding is typically seen in elements that can form multiple bonds, such as double or triple bonds. 2. **Identifying Relevant Elements**: - The question provides four options, and we need to identify which of these elements can form p pi - p pi multiple bonds. The most common elements known for forming such bonds are from the carbon family (Group 14 of the periodic table). 3. **Catenation Tendency**: - Catenation is the ability of an element to form chains or rings of atoms through covalent bonds. Carbon has a strong catenation tendency, allowing it to bond with itself and form various allotropes (like diamond, graphite, etc.). 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A (Carbon)**: Carbon can form p pi - p pi multiple bonds due to its ability to catenate and form double (C=C) and triple (C≡C) bonds. - **Option B (Silicon)**: Silicon can form some multiple bonds but has a weaker catenation tendency compared to carbon. - **Option C (Tin)**: Tin does not typically form p pi - p pi multiple bonds. - **Option D (Boron)**: While boron can form some types of bonds, it does not exhibit the same p pi - p pi bonding as carbon. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A (Carbon)**, as it is the element that predominantly exhibits p pi - p pi multiple bonding due to its strong catenation tendency. ### Final Answer: The p pi - p pi multiple bond is seen in **Carbon**. ---
