MCQ
$STATEMENT-1$: $\quad \mathrm{Pb}^{4+}$ compounds are stronger oxidizing agents than $\mathrm{Sn}^{4+}$ compounds.and

$STATEMENT-2$: The higher oxidation states for the group $14$ elements are more stable for the heavier members of the group due to 'inert pair effect'.

  • A
    $STATEMENT-1$ is True, $STATEMENT-2$ is True; $STATEMENT-2$ is correct explanation for $STATEMENT-1$
  • B
