Question
The stability of dihalides of Si, Ge, Sn and Pb increases steadily in the sequence
Options
A.GeX2 << SiX2 << SnX2 << PbX2
B.SiX2 << GeX2 << PbX2 << SnX2
C.SiX2 << GeX2 << SnX2 << PbX2
D.PbX2 << SnX2 << GeX2 << SiX2
Solution
Due to inert pair effect, the stability of + 2 oxidation state increases as we move down this group.
∴ SiX2 << GeX2 << SnX2 << PbX2
Hence, (3) is correct.
∴ SiX2 << GeX2 << SnX2 << PbX2
Hence, (3) is correct.
