Question

most stable dihalide of gp14 ________​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The stability of dihalides of Si, Ge, Sn and Pb increases steadily in the sequence of SiX

2

≪GeX

2

≪ SnX

2

≪ PbX

2

.

As we go down the group the stability of dihalides increases because as we go down the lower oxidation state become more stable due to inert pair effect.

Hence option C is correct.
