Statement 1 ~Pb^ 4+ compounds are stronger oxidising agents than...
Statement compounds are stronger oxidising agents than compounds.
Statement 2 The higher oxidation states for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members of the group due to 'inert pair effect'.
Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Correct answer
C. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step solution
In early p-block, on moving top to bottom, the stability of lower oxidation state increases due to inert pair effect. is less stable than , making it a better oxidising agent The lower oxidation state for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members.
