Statement-I : `PCl_(5) "and" PbCl_(4)` are thermally unstable. Statement-II : They produce same gas on thermal decompositionA. If both statement -I & Statement-II are true & the Statement-II is correct explaination of the statement-I.B. If both Statement-I & Statement-II are true but Statement-II is not a correct explainatin of Statement-I.C. If Statement-I is True but the Statement-II is FalseD. If the Statement-I is False but the Statement-II is True

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`PCl_(5)overset(triangle)toPCl_(3)+Cl_(2)`
`PCl_(5) "decomposes into" PCl_(3) "&" Cl_(2)` as in its structure two `P-Cl` axial bonds are longer than other three `p-Cl` equatorial bonds.
`PbCl_(4)overset(triangle)toPbCl_(2)+Cl_(2)`
Due to inert pair effect, `Pb^(4+)` is unstable therefore it changes into more stable `Pb^(++)`
