Question

carbon show catination but lead does not. give reason​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since carbon is small atom, thus the bond formed between two carbon atom is strong. Therefore, it shows maximum catenation. And as we down the group, size of the atom increases, so M-M bond strength decreases and tendency to show catenation decreases. Thus, lead does not show catenation property.
