Q18 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

The element that shows greater ability to form pπ-pπ multiple bonds is:

  • A
    Sn
  • Correct answer
    B
    C
  • C
    Si
  • D
    Ge

Solution

C forms most stable pπ-pπ bonds because it has high bond dissociation energy, more electronegativity, high ionization energy and vacant d- orbital is unavailable. While others have vacant orbital and low bond dissociation enthalpy and low ionisation enthalpy

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
