MCQ
Which statement is correct with respect to the property of the elements with increase in atomic number in the carbon family?
  • A
    Their metallic character decreases
  • ✓
    The stability of $+2$ oxidation state increases
  • C
    Their ionization energy increases
  • D
    Their atomic size decreases
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
The stability of $+2$ oxidation state increases
Due to the inert pair effect, as we move down the group, lower oxidation state becomes more stable, so stability of $2+$ oxidation state increases.
