Assertion: tin(II) chloride is ionic and reducing in nature. Reason: Sn shows both +2 and +4 oxidation state.A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanatoin of AB. both A and R are true but R is the correct explanation of AC. A is true but R is falseD. A is false but R is true

Answer» Reason : Due to low ionisation energy `(IE_(1)+IE_(2))` tin in +2 oxidation state forms ionic bond. It can easily get oxidised to +4 oxidation state and as such can act as a reducing agent.
