vii. The stability of dihalides of ` Si, Ge , Sn` and Pb increases steadily in the sequence :

A

`GeX_(2) le SiX_(2) leSnX_(2) le PbX_(2)`

B

`SiX_(2)le GeX_(2) lt PbX_(2) le SnX_(2)`

C

`SiX_(2) le GeX_(2) le SnX_(2) le PbX_(2)`

D

`PbX_(2) le SnX_(2) le GeX_(2) le SiX_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to inert pair effect , the stability of +2 oxidation state increases as we move down this group.
`:. SiX_(2) le GeX_(2) le SnX_(2) lePbX_(2)`
