What is the cause of inert pair effect?

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

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