The reason behind carbon showing catenation property but lead does not is:

1. Due to the smaller size of C than that of Pb

2. Due to the smaller size of Pb than that of C

3. Due to the smaller ionization energy of C than that of Pb

4. Due to the inert pair effect

Carbon dioxide is a gas but silica is a solid because:

1. Carbon dioxide is composed of discrete covalent ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules whereas silica has a continuous tetrahedral structure.

2. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules are lighter than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ molecules.

3. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is more acidic than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$.

4. The melting point of silica is very high.
