Question:
In group 14 elements, the element with highest melting point is X and element with lowest melting point is Y. X and Y respectively are
In group 14 elements, the element with highest melting point is X and element with lowest melting point is Y. X and Y respectively are
Show Hint
In group 14, the melting points decrease as we move down the group due to the increasing size and weaker bonding in heavier elements like Sn.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In group 14 elements:
- Silicon (Si) has a relatively high melting point.
- Tin (Sn) has the lowest melting point.
Thus, the correct order is Sn (lowest melting point) and C (highest melting point).
