Tin and lead form divalent Sn (II) and e...

Tin and lead form divalent Sn (II) and ead (II) and tetravalent i.e., Tin (IV) and lead. (IV) compounds. Tetravalent and dioxides of lead and Tin are amphoteric in nature. Lead tetra fluorite is ionic solid where as `PbCl_(4)` is covalent. `Pbl_(4)` does not exist. lead (II) halides are white whereas `Pbl_(2)` is yellow in colour.
Q. `Pbl_(4)` does not exist due to

A

Inert pair effect

B

High reducing power of `l^(-)`

C

High oxidising power of `l^(-)`

D

High electronegativity of l.
