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.

D. How the pull of gravity has changed.
We are given –
- Mass of
is 57.1 g and we are asked to find number of moles present in 57.1 g of 






____________________
Now,Let's calculate the number of moles present in 57.1 g of 






__________________________________
Mass of KNO₃ : = 40.643 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
28.5 g of K₃PO₄
Required
Mass of KNO₃
Solution
Reaction(Balanced equation) :
2K₃PO₄ + 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ = Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 KNO₃
mol K₃PO₄(MW=212,27 g/mol) :
= mass : MW
= 28.5 : 212,27 g/mol
= 0.134
Mol ratio of K₃PO₄ : KNO₃ = 2 : 6, so mol KNO₃ :
= 6/2 x mol K₃PO₄
= 6/2 x 0.134
= 0.402
Mass of KNO₃ :
= mol x MW KNO₃
= 0.402 x 101,1032 g/mol
= 40.643 g
