The correct order of the boiling points of the compounds is
(a)$\mathrm{CH}_{4}>\mathrm{SiH}_{4}>\mathrm{SnH}_{4}>\mathrm{GeH}_{4}$
(b)$\mathrm{SiH}_{4}>\mathrm{CH}_{4}>\mathrm{GeH}_{4}>\mathrm{SnH}_{4}$
(c)$\mathrm{SnH}_{4}>\mathrm{GeH}_{4}>\mathrm{CH}_{4}>\mathrm{SiH}_{4}$
(d)$\mathrm{SnH}_{4}>\mathrm{GeH}_{4}>\mathrm{SiH}_{4}>\mathrm{CH}_{4}$
Answer
Answer: D ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Boiling points rise with molar mass: SnH₄ > GeH₄ > SiH₄ > CH₄ (d).
