Which of the following oxidation states ...

Which of the following oxidation states are the most characteristics for lead and tin, respectively?

A

`+4`,+2

B

`+2`,+4

C

`+4`,+4

D

`+2`,+2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`+2` , +4 due to inert pair effect `M^(+)` ions stability decreases, when we move down the group. In case of `Sn,Sn^(4+)` is more stable than `Sn^(2+)`
In case of Pb,`Pb^(2+)` is more stable than `Pb^(4+)`
