Rationalize the given statements and give chemical reactions : Lead (IV) chloride is highly unstable towards heat. |
|
Answer» Solution :On moving down group IV, the higher oxidation state becomes UNSTABLE because of the inert pair effect. Pb(IV) is highly unstable and when heated, it reduces to Pb(II). `PbCl_(4(L)) oversetDeltato PbCl_(2(g)) to Cl_(2(g))` |
