Which of the following species decomposes easily?

A

`Pb(CH_(3)CO_(2))_(4)`

B

`PbCl_(4)`

C

`PbI_(4)`

D

`PbI_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`PbI_(4)` is not known, probably because of the oxidizing power of `Pb(+4)` and the reducing power of `I^(-)`, which results in `PbI_(2)` always being formed:
`PbI_(4) rarr PbI_(2) + I_(2)`
`Pb(CH_(3)CO_(2))_(4)` is the only stable lead `+4` oxosalt.
