Which of the following are correct?A. `As^(5+)` salts are better oxidising agentsB. `Tl^(3+)` salts are better oxidising agentsC. `Ga^(o+)` salts are better oxidising agentsD. `Pb^(4+)` salts are better oxidising agents

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C::D
a. `As^(5+)` is stable, but `Sb^(3+)` `Bi^(3+)` are more stable than `+5 OS`.
b. Due to inert pair effect, `Ti^(o+)` (reduction acts as oxidising agent)
Hence, `Ti^(3+)` acts as oxidising agent.
c. For the same reason `Ga^(3+)` is more stable than `Ga^(o+)`.
d. `Pb^(2+)` is more stable than `Pb^(4+)`, due to inert pair effect. So, `Pb^(4+)` salts are better oxidising agents.
