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.

Answer:
because of the small soot particles
The given concentration of boric acid = 0.0500 M
Required volume of the solution = 2 L
Molarity is the moles of solute present per liter solution. So 0.0500 M boric acid has 0.0500 mol boric acid present in 1 L solution.
Calculating the moles of 0.0500 M boric acid present in 2 L solution:

Converting moles of boric acid to mass:

Therefore, 6.183 g boric acid when dissolved and made up to 2 L with distilled water gives 0.0500 M solution.
