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

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C

Statement I is correct, Statement II is the incorrect

D

Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is the correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Statement-I is correct. Due to inert pair effect. `Pb^(4+)` is unstable and can be easily reduced to `Pb^(2+)` is stronger oxidising agent than `Sn^(4+)` Statement-II is false. The higher oxidation states for group 14 elements are less stable for heavier elements of the group due to inert pair effect.

Assertion (A) : Pbl_4 is astable compound . Reason (R) : Iodide ion statbilised higher oxidation state ,

Assertion (A): KMnO_(4) is a stronger oxidising agent than K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) . Reason (R ): This is due to increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced.

Assertion : Pbl_4 is a stable compound. Reason : Iodide stabilizes higher oxidation state.

Assertion : Cr(VI) in the form of dichromate in acidic medium is a strong oxidising agent where MoO_3 and WO_3 are not. Reason: In d-block elements higher oxidation states are favoured by heavier members.
