Statement 1 is correct since left to right 1E increases in general in periodic table.
Statement 2 is incorrect since M.P. of group 14 elements is more than group 13 elements.
Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : The first ionisation enthalpy of group 14 elements is higher than the corresponding elements of…
