The standard entropies at 298 K for certain group 4A elementsare: C(s, diamond) = 2.43 J/mol-K, Si1s2 = 18.81 J/mol-K, Ge1s2 = 31.09 J/mol-K, and Sn1s2 = 51.818 J/mol-K. All but Sn have the same (diamond) structure. Howdo you account for the trend in the S° values?

Question

The standard entropies at 298 K for certain group 4A elements
are: C(s, diamond) = 2.43 J/mol-K, Si1s2 = 18.81 J/
mol-K, Ge1s2 = 31.09 J/mol-K, and Sn1s2 = 51.818 J/
mol-K. All but Sn have the same (diamond) structure. How
do you account for the trend in the S° values?
