| Statement-I : | Stability of +1 oxidation state increases as Ga< In < Tl |
| Statement-II : | Stability of +1 oxidation state increases down the group due to inert pair effect. |
| 1. | Statement-I and Statement-II both are correct |
| 2. | Statement-I and Statement-II both are incorrect |
| 3. | Statement-I is correct and Statement-II is incorrect |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement-II is correct |
| Statement I: | Pb⁴⁺ compounds are stronger oxidizing agents than Sn⁴⁺ compounds. |
| Statement II: | The higher oxidation states for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members of the group due to ‘inert pair effect’. |
| 1. | Both the statements are True, and Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I |
| 2. | Both the statements are True, but Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I |
| 3. | Statement I is True, but Statement II is False. |
| 4. | Statement I is False, and Statement II is True. |
| Statement-1: | \(\mathrm{Pb}^{+4}\) compounds are stronger oxidising agents than \(\mathrm{Sn}^{4+}\) 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'. |
| 1. | Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 |
