Catenation is the tendency to link with one another through covalent bonds to form chains and rings. The element that cannot show catenation property is

These results are obtained by the three separate samples of a solution of a single salt. One formed a white precipitate with excess ammonia solution, one gives a white precipitate with dilute NaCl solution and one formed a black precipitate with H₂S. The salt would be:
