The group 14 elements A and B have the first ionisation enthalpy values of 708 and 715 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ respectively. The above values are lowest among their group members. The nature of their ions A ²⁺ B ⁴⁺ respectively is

Options

  1. Aboth reducing
  2. Bboth oxidising
  3. Creducing and oxidising
  4. Doxidising and reducing

Correct answer

C. reducing and oxidising

Step-by-step solution

As per given information of ionisation energy A = Sn & ~B = Pb aligned & A ⁺²= Sn ²⁺= Reducing agent & B ⁺⁴= Pb ⁺⁴= Oxidising agent aligned
