Question

The correct order of Catenation property is:

• A. $C-C>P-P>S-S>Si-Si>N-N$
• B. $C-C>S-S>P-P>Si-Si>N-N$
• C. $C-C>P-P<S-S<Si-Si<N-N$
• D. $C-C<S-S<P-P<Si-Si<N-N$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $C-C>S-S>P-P>Si-Si>N-N$

Higher the bond energy more will be catenation.
the bond energy order for $C-C>S-S>P-P>Si-Si>N-N$ are 347, 213, 213, 176, 159, 138 $kJmo{l}^{-1}$ and hence same is the catenation property order.
