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.

Mass of KCl= 1.08 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
1 g of K₂CO₃
Required
Mass of KCl
Solution
Reaction
K₂CO₃ +2HCl ⇒ 2KCl +H₂O + CO₂
mol of K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :
= 1 g : 138 g/mol
= 0.00725
From the equation, mol ratio K₂CO₃ : KCl = 1 : 2, so mol KCl :
= 2/1 x mol K₂CO₃
= 2/1 x 0.00725
= 0.0145
Mass of KCl(MW=74.5 g/mol) :
= mol x MW
= 0.0145 x 74.5
= 1.08 g
Molar mass of 13c = 13 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
therefore,
number of moles = 7 / 13
To know the number of atoms in 7/13 moles, we simply multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of atoms = (7/13) x 6.022 x 10^23 = 3.2426 x 10^23 atoms
