Account for the following observations : PbO_2is a stronger oxidizing agent than SnO_2. |
| Answer» Solution :In `PbO_2` and `SnO_2` both lead and the tin are present in +4 oxidation STATE but due to stronger inert pair effect, `Pb^(+2)` ion is more stable than `SN^(+2)` ion. So `PbO_4` is stronger OXIDISING AGENT. | |
