Which of the following statement is correct with respect to the property of elements with an increase in atomic number in the carbon family (group 14)?

A

Atomic size decrease

B

Ionisation energy increase

C

Metallic character decreases

D

Stability of +2 oxidation state increase.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

As we go down the group inertness of `ns^(2)` pair increase hence tendency to exhibit `+2` oxidation state increase and that of `+4` oxidation state decreases.
