Solution
The correct option is BSnH4>GeH4>SiH4>CH4 Observe that H is attached to carbon group elements. None of them enough electronegativity to reflect as H-bonding
Thus, only molecular weight is the criteria.
From periodic table, size and weight in order Sn > Ge > Si > C
Thus molecular weight order is SnH4>GeH4>SiH4>CH4.
Boiling point also follows the same order. So, SnH4 has highest boiling point.
