Compounds that formally contain Pb^(4+) ...

Compounds that formally contain `Pb^(4+)` are easily reduced to `Pb^(+2)` .The stability of the lower oxidation state is due to `"…….."` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Inert Pair Effect
Due to inert pair effect, `Pb^(2+)` (two less than normal oxidation state) is more stable than `Pb^(4+)` (normal oxidation state).
