Question

what meant catenation properts of an element​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. ... The ability of an element to catenate is primarily based on the bond energy of the element to itself, which decreases with more diffuse orbitals (those with higher azimuthal quantum number) overlapping to form the bond.

Answer 2
