Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:

$Pb\left(II\right)$ salts are easily oxidized to $Pb\left(IV\right)$ salts.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

As we move down the group, II oxidation state become more stable than IV so Pb(II) is more stable than Pb(IV) and $Pb\left(IV\right)$ compounds have high tendency to get electron and converts into $Pb\left(II\right)$ compounds.
