Their is difference of 40 pm in atomic radius while going from C to Si but there is difference of only 5 pm while going from Si to Ge.
If true enter 1, else 0.

Solution
Carbon is a non-metal, silicon and germanium are metalloids, and tin and lead are poor metals. The Group 14 metalloids silicon and germanium act as electrical semiconductors, although silicon is largely non-metallic. The physical and chemical properties of germanium are very similar to those of silicon so, they have small atomic radii difference.
