MCQ
Carbon differs from other elements of the group. Which is the false statement
  • A
    Due to its marked tendency to form long chains (catenation)
  • B
    Due to its unique ability to form multiple bonds
  • Due to $d$ - orbital in penultimate shell
  • D
    Due to its limitation of co-ordination number $4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Due to $d$ - orbital in penultimate shell
c
(c) Carbon has $2$ electrons in their penultimate shell configuration so due to $d$ - orbital in penultimate shell is false statement.
