Vedclass · Answer

(D) The catenation power of an element is directly proportional to the strength of the bond formed between its own atoms (Element-Element bond energy).Since the order of catenation power is $Ge Comparing the given values,the bond energies are approximately $350 \ kJ/mol$ for $C-C$,$180 \ kJ/mol$ for $Si-Si$,and $170 \ kJ/mol$ for $Ge-Ge$.Therefore,the correct order is $350, 180, 170$.

The order of catenation power is $Ge < Si < C$. What are the $C-C$,$Si-Si$,and $Ge-Ge$ bond energies (in $kJ/mol$) respectively?
