Identify the incorrect statements from the following. I. Tin in +2 state acts as reducing agent while lead in +4 state acts as strong oxidising agent. II. Silicon exists as both [SiF6]2−\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-} and [SiCl6]2−\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-} forms. III. The hybridisation of carbon in fullerene is sp3s p^3. IV. Among Ge,Sn\mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{Sn} and Pb\mathrm{Pb} lowest melting point is for Sn\mathrm{Sn}.

Options

  1. AI, IV
  2. BII, IV
  3. CII, III
  4. DIII, IV

Correct answer

C. II, III

Step-by-step solution

(II). [SiF6]2−\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-} is known but [SiCl6]2−\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-} does not exist, this is because due to larger size of Cl\mathrm{Cl} atom as compared to F\mathrm{F} atom it is not possible to accommodate six atoms of Cl\mathrm{Cl} around Si\mathrm{Si} atom. (III). Fullerens structure have carbon atoms both in sp2s p^2 and sp3s p^3 hybridised system. Correct option is (c).
