As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

I can tell you're not very educated because everyone knows that breathing pure oxygen for long periods of time can sometimes hurt us. Oxygen in lower levels, such as levels found in atmosphere are just right for us to breathe. Get a life and stop trying to scare young kids that just want help on their homework.
The volume of a 1.86-carat diamond in cubic centimeters is 0.106 cm³
Given,
The density of a diamond is 3.513 g/cm³.
We have to find out the volume of a 1.86-carat diamond in cubic centimeters.
Convert the units of the diamond from carat to grams, we have:
(1.86 carats) x (0.200 g / 1 carat) = 0.372 g
The volume of the diamond is obtained by dividing the mass by the density, therefore using the formula, we get
v = m / d
v = 0.372 g / (3.51 g/cm³) = 0.1059 cm³
or, v = 0.106 cm³ (approx)
Therefore, the volume of a 1.86-carat diamond is approximately 0.106 cm³.
