Solution

The correct option is B C - C bond is strong
‘C’ is highest catenation element due to high C – C bond energy, and tetravalency of ‘C’ can satisfied with single or multiple bonds.

Q. Assertion :Metallic character increases from left to right in a period. Reason: The higher the value of ionization energy, electronegativity and electron affinity the more is the metallic character of the element.

Q. Ordinarily the barrier to rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond is quite high but in compound P double bond between two rings was observed by NMR to have a rotational energy barrier of only about 20 cal/mol, showing that it has lot of single bond character.
