Is Pb^(4+) a reducing agent or an oxidising agent? Why? |
| Answer» Solution :`Pb^(4+)` is a strong oxidising agent. `Pb^(2+)` is more STABLE than `Pb^(2+)` due to inert pair effect. HENCE Pb+ TRIES to be converted to `Pb^(4+)` by gaining ELECTRONS. In other words `Pb^(2+)` is reduced easily. So, it is a strong oxidising agent. | |
