Write the order of stability of dihalides of carbon group elements. |
|
Answer» As we learnt in Oxidation state of carbon family -Exhibits O.S. of +4L and +2 (ionic) Ge, Sn and PB +2 o.s. is PROMINENT due to inert pair effect- Due to inert pair effect, the stability of +2 oxidization state increases down the group.Option 1)PbX_2\ll SnX_2\ll GeX_2\ll SiX_2This option is incorrect.Option 2)GeX_2\ll SiX_2\ll SnX_2\ll\, PbX_2This option is incorrect.Option 3)SiX_2\ll GeX_2\ll\, PbX_2 \ll\, SnX_2This option is incorrect.Option 4)SiX_2\ll GeX_2 \ll\, SnX_2 \ll\, PbX_2 |
