The stability of ions of Ge Sn and Pb wi...

The stability of ions of Ge Sn and `Pb` will be in the order .

A

`Ge^(2+) lt Sn^(2+) lt Pb^(2+)`

B

`Ge^(4+) gt Sn^(4+) gt Pb^(4+)`

C

`Sn^(4+) gt Sn^(2+)`

D

`Pb^(2+) gt Pb^(4+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
Due to inert pair effect, +2 oxidation state is more stable down the group.
So , `Ge^(4+) gt Sn^(4+) gt Pb^(4+) " but " Ge^(2+) gt Sn^(2+) lt Pb^(2+)`
Also, `Sn^(4+)` is more stable than . But `Pb^(2+)` is more stable `Pb^(4+)` than
