1.

Statement 1: Pb^(4+) compounds are stronger oxidizing agents than Sn^(4+) compounds. statement 2: The higher oxidation states for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members of the group due to 'inert pair effect'.

Answer»

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 si a correct EXPLANATION for statement 11
Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 11
