The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of an element `E` from the carbon family (Group 14) when reacting with halogens (X = F, Cl, Br, I) to form compounds of the type `EX4` and `EX2`. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements in the Carbon Family**: The carbon family consists of the following elements: Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), and Lead (Pb). 2. **Understand the Oxidation States**: - In Group 14, elements can exhibit oxidation states of +2 and +4. - The stability of the +4 oxidation state decreases down the group due to the inert pair effect, while the stability of the +2 oxidation state increases. 3. **Analyze the Formation of EX4**: - For the element `E`, when it reacts with halogens (X), it can form the compound `EX4`. - However, as we move down the group, the stability of `EX4` decreases. For example, while carbon and silicon can form stable tetrahalides (like CF4, SiF4), germanium can form GeX4, but it is less stable than SiX4. - Lead (Pb) does not form a stable PbX4 due to the inert pair effect, and it is more stable in the +2 oxidation state (PbX2). 4. **Check the Existence of EX2**: - Germanium (Ge) and Lead (Pb) can form stable compounds of the type `EX2` (e.g., GeX2 and PbX2). - This is significant because while PbX4 does not exist, PbX2 is stable. 5. **Conclusion on the Options**: - Based on the above analysis: - The stability of EX4 decreases down the group (correct). - PbX4 does not exist (correct). - Both Ge and Pb can form EX2 (correct). - Therefore, all statements are correct. ### Final Answer: All options are correct. ---
