Which of the following properties is $NOT$ exhibited by carbon?

In the following reaction,identify the nature of the product formed by the complete hydrolysis of the underlined atom at $R.T.$:
$\underline{S}OCl_2 + H_2O \longrightarrow H_2SO_3 + HCl$

Assertion $(A): [SiF_6]^{2-}$ is formed but $[SiCl_6]^{2-}$ is not.
Reason $(R):$ Electronegativity $(EN)$ of $F$ is higher than $EN$ of $Cl$.

Explain the following reactions:
$(a)$ Silicon is heated with methyl chloride at high temperature in the presence of copper;
$(b)$ Silicon dioxide is treated with hydrogen fluoride;
$(c)$ $CO$ is heated with $ZnO$;
$(d)$ Hydrated alumina is treated with aqueous $NaOH$ solution.

$C_{60}$,an allotrope of carbon,contains:

Explain the following:
$(1)$ $Tl(NO_3)_3$ acts as an oxidizing agent.
$(2)$ Carbon shows catenation property but lead does not.
