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-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is Not a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `p`-block elements (`14^(th)` group here) the lower oxidation state becomes more stable on going down the group due to inert pair effect.Thus `Pb^(+4)` is less stable than `Sn^(+4)`.This makes `Pb^(+4)` a stronger oxidising agent.Therefore, the statement-2 is incorrect.
