Assertion : Pbl4 is a stable compound. ...

Assertion : `Pbl_4` is a stable compound.
Reason : Iodide stabilizes higher oxidation state.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here both assertion and reason are false because `PbI_(4)` is not a stable compound and iodine can not stabilize higher oxidation states. Pb shows (II) oxidation state more frequently than Pb (IV) due to inert pair effect.
