Question

anyone is here who can explain me why pb+4 compounds are very good oxidizing agents

Answer 1

Due to inert pair effect of Lead, Pb +2 is more stable than Pb +4. On the other hand, tin does not exhibit inert pair effect. Inert pair effect is exhibited by elements with a fully filled d and f orbital, which cannot effectively shield nuclear charge. Hence, Pb +4 Is oxidizing.
