Assertion (A) :` Pb^(+4)` compounds are stronger oxidiising agents than ` Sn^(3+)` compounds .
Reason (R): The higher oxition states for grouup `14` eelments are more stable for the heavier members of the frop due to inert pair effect .

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is correct explanation of (A)

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is not correct explanation of (A)

C

If (A) is correct , but (R) is incorrect

D

If (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct reason : Lower oxidation states for the group `14` elements are more stable for haveier members of the frop due to linet apir efficet .
