Question

Which of the following is incorrect statement.
(1) PbF₄ is covalent in nature
(2) SiCl₄is easily hydrolysed
(3) GeX₄ (X = F, Cl, Br, I) is more stable GeX₂
(4) SnF₄ is ionic in nature

Answer 1

Incorrect statement -

$\bold{PbF_{4}\,is\,covalent\,nature}$

Step by step explanation:

(1)

According to the Fajan's rule - Lead atom is small and fluorine atom is very small in size.Hence $\bold{PbF_{4}\,is\,covalent\,nature\,and\,it\,is\,in\,ionic\,nature}$.

(2)

Due to the steric hindrance of  $\bold{SiCl_{4}}$ not easily hydrolyzed.

(3)

All orbitally fully filled in $\bold{GeX_{4}}$ is more stable than $\bold{GeX_{2}}$

(4)

Due to the high atomic radii of Tin and small radii of fluorine forms ionic compound-  $\bold{SnF_{4}}$

Hence, the incorrect statement is $\bold{PbF_{4}\,is\,covalent\,nature\,and\,it\,is\,in\,ionic\,nature}$.
