Catenation, i.e. linking of similar atoms depends on size and electronic configuration of atoms. The tendency of catenation in Group 14 elements follows the order

(A) C>Si>Ge>Sn

(B) C>>Si>Ge≈Sn

(C) Si>C>Sn>Ge

(D) Ge>Sn>Si>C

This is a Assertion and Reason Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(B)

Silicones are a class of silicon polymers that contain the repeating unit (-R 2 SiO-). Silicones are water repellent in nature because they are surrounded by non-polar alkyl groups, so A and R are both correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(A)

In aluminium silicate, silicon is doped with group 13 elements and as aluminium is trivalent and silicon is tetravalent so, on replacing aluminium by Silicon, a negatively charged structure will be obtained. Both the statements assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
