(i) What is the oxidation state of TI in the compound TlI_(3)? (ii) Which is stronger oxidising agent between CO_(2) and PbO_(2) and why? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) +1 (ii) `PbO_(2)`. Due to the inert pair effect, PB is very unstable in +4 oxidaition STATE. Thus `Pb^(4+)` can be easily reduced to `Pb^(2+)`. |
