Rationalise the statements and give chemical reactions. (i) Lead (II) Chloride reacts with `Cl_2` to give `PbCl_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The +2 state is more stable for lead (inert pair effect) and hence `PbCl_2` will not react with `Cl_2` to form relatively less stable `PhCl_4`
