The correct order of catenation is :
1. C > > Sn > Si Ge
2. Si > Sn > C > Ge
3. C > > Si > Ge Sn
4. Ge > Sn > Si > C
Among the elements In, Tl, Al, Pb, Sn, and Ge, what are the most stable oxidation states for the element with the highest first ionisation enthalpy and the element with the lowest first ionisation enthalpy, respectively?
| 1. | +2 and +3 | 2. | +4 and +3 |
| 3. | +4 and +1 | 4. | +1 and +4 |
