Question

give reason carbon of 14 group from polynuclear hydrides
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The elements of the group 14 form the covalent hydrides of type MH4. ... The carbon forms the large number of the cyclic and the acyclic hydrides known as the hydro carbons. Similarly Si and Ge also form hydrides of the general formula MnH2n+2.

Explanation:

What are interstitial hydrides?

Metallic hydrides (also known as interstitial hydrides) involve hydrogen bonds with transition metals. One interesting and unique characteristic of these hydrides are that they can be nonstoichiometric, meaning basically that the fraction of H atoms to the metals are not fixed.

What are non-stoichiometric hydrides?

Non-Stoichiometric hydrides are hydrogen-deficient compounds formed by the reaction of dihydrogen with d-block and f-block elements. These hydrides do not follow the law of constant composition. ... These hydrides are ionic in nature. Hydride ions have comparable sizes (208 pm) with alkali metal ions.
