  1. A positive and positive
  2. B negative and negative
  3. C positive and negative
  4. D negative and positive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) negative and positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In alkaline medium, \(\mathrm{SnO}_2\)-sol is \(\left[\mathrm{SnO}_2\right] \mathrm{SnO}_3^{2-}\) \(\Rightarrow\) negatively charged. In acidic medium, \(\mathrm{SnO}_2\) sol is \(\left[\mathrm{SnO}_2\right] \mathrm{Sn}^{4+}\) \(\Rightarrow\) positively charged.
