Statement (II) : The first ionization energy of Ge is greater than that of Si .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  2. B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. C Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  4. D Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First ionization energy of Lead \(=715 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) First ionization energy of Tin \(=708 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) \(\left(\mathrm{IE}_1\right)\) of Lead is greater than that of Tin due to ineffective shielding of d - and f -electrons. Therefore…
