Question

what is inert pair effect​

Answer 1

Answer:

In p-block elements down the group higher oxidation state becomes less stable due to Inert pair effect.The reluctance of ns electrons to participate in bond formation is known as Inert pair effect

Explanation:

due to the fact that the outer ns^2 electrons penetrate to some extent to penultimate orbit consisting 18 electrons thereby attract strongly towards nucleus.Inert pair effect increases in group as atomic number increases.
