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'.
- A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In early p-block, on moving top to bottom, the stability of lower oxidation state increases due to inert pair effect. \(\mathrm{Pb}^{4+}\) is less stable than \(\mathrm{Sn}^{4+}\), making it a better oxidising agent The lower oxidation state for the group 14 elements are more stable for the heavier members.

- A hydrogen atom, initially at rest in its ground state, absorbs a photon of frequency \(v_1\) and ejects the electron with a kinetic energy of 10 eV . The electron then combines with a positron at rest to form a positronium atom in its ground state and simultaneously emits a photon of frequency \(v_2\). The center of mass of the resulting positronium atom moves with a kinetic energy of 5 eV . It is given that positron has the same mass as that of electron and the positronium atom can be considered as a Bohr atom, in which the electron and the positron orbit around their center of mass. Considering no other energy loss during the whole process, the difference between the two photon energies (in eV ) is \(\qquad\)JEE Advanced 2025 Hard
