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

A

Statement I is true: Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Statement I is true. Stronger oxidising agent is one which itselt can easily be reduced. `Pb^(4+)` is unstable, due to inert pair effect, can easily be reduced to stable `Pb^(2+)`, hence a stronger oxidising agent than `Sn^(4+)`
Statement II is false. Due to inert pair effect, the higher oxidatioin states of group 14 elements becomes less stable for heavier member.
