PbO2 acts as a stronger oxidising agent ...

`PbO_2` acts as a stronger oxidising agent than `SnO_2`. Cmment .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to the presence of fully filled less shiling d-and //or f-orbitals in `Pb` and ` Sn` they exhy exhibit inert paire effect and can have tow different oxidation sttes . Whith increase in the number of electron in `d-and //or` f-prbiotals tendency to show inert paire effect inceases and hence in tin `+4` oxidation state will be more stable as compared to lead. Hence `Pb (IV)` compounds will behave as sterong oxidising agnets as comapred to `Sn (IV)` comjpounds . Hence `PbO_2` willl act as stronger oxidaring agent than `SnO_2` .
