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.

The number of half -lives that has passed after 105 hours for krypton-79 that has half-life of 35 hours is calculated as below
if 1 half life = 35 hours
what about 105 hours = ? half-lives
= (1 half life x105 hours) /35 hours = 3 half-lives has passed after 105 hours
Rotting vegetables is a chemical change I think.
