The element that does not show catenation is :
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Pb
The property of self-linking of atoms of an element through covalent bonds to form straight or branched chains and rings of different sizes is called catenation.
Catenation is not shown by lead. Down the group metallic character increases and Pb is a metal and catenetion is the property of non-metal, not metal.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
