The decrease in stability of higher oxid...

The decrease in stability of higher oxidation state in p-block with increasing atomic number is due to:

A

increase in bond energy as going down the group.

B

the reluctance of s-sub shell electrons to participate in the chemical bonding.

C

both are correct.

D

Noble gas configuration achieved by lower oxidation state.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Down the group the inert pair effect is more pronounced on account of enhanced increase in effective nuclear charge.
