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.

- Sn, C
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).
