The tendency for catenation is much higher for C than for `Si`.

Explain why: Sulphur exhibits tendency for catenation but oxygen does not.

Catenation i.e., linking of similar atoms depends on size and electronic configuration of atoms. The tendency of catenation in group 14 elements follows the order.

Assertion (A): Magnesium can be obtained by the electronlysis of aqueous solution of MgCl_(2) . Reason (R ): The electrode potential of Mg^(2+) is much higher than H^(o+) .

The first ionisation energy of carbon is much higher than that of silicon . Explain.

(a) Draw the molecular structures of the following compounds : (i) N_(2)O_(5) " " (ii) XeOF_(4) (b) Explain the following observations : (i) Sulphur has a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen. (ii) ICI is more reactive than I_(2) . (iii) Despite lower value of its electron gain enthalpy with negative sign, fluorine (F_(2)) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cl_(2) .

Explain the following observations: (i) Phosphorus has a greater tendency for catenation than nitrogen (ii) The negative value of electron gain enthalpy is less for fluorine than for chlorine. (iii) Hydrogen fluoride has a much higher boiling point than hydrogen chloride

Why does carbon have a greater tendency of catenation than silicon although they belong to the same group of the periodic table?

.Which of the following statements is true: (a) Melting point of Phosphorous is less than that of Nitrogen (b) N_(2) is highly reactive while P_(4) is inert (c) Nitrogen shows higher tendency of catenation than P (d)N-N is weaker than P-P
