Assertion (A) :` Pb^(+4)` compounds are stronger oxidiising agents than ` Sn^(3+)` compounds .
Reason (R): The higher oxition states for grouup `14` eelments are more stable for the heavier members of the frop due to inert pair effect .

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 .

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, Satement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanaition of Statement I. (b) Statement I is true, Satement II is true, Statement II is not the correct explanaiton of Statement I. (c ) Statement I is true, Statement II is false (d) Statement I is false : Statement II is true 2. Statement I : Pb^(4+) compounds are stronger oxidising agents than Sn^(2+) compounds . Statement II : The lower oxidation states for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members 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.
