What is inert pair effect of p-block elements?

Inert pair effect is mostly shown by the 15-17th group elements.
That is, the oxidation state reduces by 2 for elements below ( , ), which is more stable than the other oxidation states.
The reason for this is the inertness of the inner electrons due to poor shielding.
