⭐⭐⬅️ Answer ➡️➡️➡️➡️

Because the covalent bond strength decreases with increasing atomic size and greater-than-expected ionization energies due to an increase in Zeff, the stability of the +2 oxidation state increases from carbon to lead. The tendency to form multiple bonds and to catenate decreases as the atomic number increases

Due to the inert pair effect (the reluctance of ns2 electrons of outermost shell to participate in bonding), the stability of M2+ ions (of group IV elements) increases as we go down the group.
