- 14
- 6
- 82
- 50
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The melting points of group 14 elements generally decrease as we move down the group. The elements with the atomic numbers 6 (carbon), 14 (silicon), 50 (tin), and 82 (lead) have decreasing melting points. Among them, tin (atomic number 50) has the lowest melting point.
Thus, the correct answer is (4) 50.
