Vedclass · Answer

(B) The tendency towards catenation depends on the strength of the element-element bond. As the atomic size increases from $S$ to $Te$,the bond dissociation energy decreases. Although oxygen is the first element,the $O-O$ bond energy is smaller than that of $S-S$ due to significant inter-electronic repulsions between the lone pairs of the small oxygen atoms. Therefore,sulphur $(S)$ exhibits the maximum tendency towards catenation among group $16$ elements.

Which of the elements of group $16$ has the maximum tendency of catenation?
