The catenation tendency of $$C,\ Si$$ and $$Ge$$ is in the order of $$Ge < Si < C$$. The bond energies (in $$KJ\ mol^{-1}$$) of $$C-C,\ Si-Si$$ and $$Ge-Ge$$ respectively, are :

A167, 180 and 348
B180, 167 and 348
C348, 167 and 180
D348, 180 and 167
Correct Answer

Solution

Higher the bond energy, stronger is the bond. So, more is the catenation tendency.
