Identify the incorrect statements from the following
I.I . Tin in +2+ 2 state acts as reducing agent while lead in +4+ 4 state acts as strong oxidising agent.
II.II .~Silicon exists as both \left[{SiF}_{6}\right]2 -and[SiCl6]2−and \left[{SiCl}_{6}\right]2 - forms.
III.III . The hybridisation of carbon in fullerene is sp3{sp}^{3}.
IV.IV . Among Ge,SnGe, Sn and PbPb lowest melting point is for SnSn.

Options

  1. AI,IVI, IV
  2. BII,IVII, IV
  3. CII,IIIII, III
  4. DIII,IVIII, IV

Correct answer

C. II,IIIII, III

Step-by-step solution

Correct statments are:-
I.I . Tin in +2+ 2 state acts as reducing agent while lead in +4+ 4 state acts as strong oxidising agent.
II.II .~Silicon exists as both \left[{SiF}_{6}\right]2 -butnotas[SiCl6]2−but not as \left[{SiCl}_{6}\right]2 -due to steric hindrance.
III.III . The hybridisation of carbon in fullerene is sp3{sp}^{3}.
IV.IV . Among Ge,SnGe, Sn and PbPb lowest melting point is for~PbPb.

Thus, IIII~and IVIV& are incorrect.
