Question

PbCl 4 exists but PbBr 4 and PbI 4 do not because of (A) Br -and I -ions are bigger in size (B) Chlorine is a gas (C) Br 2 and I 2 are more electronegative (D) Inability of bromine and iodine to oxidize Pb 2+ to Pb 4+

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (a) Br -and I -ions are bigger in size

Q. $P b C l_{4}$ exists but $P b B r_{4}$ and $P b I_{4}$ do not because of

$B r^{-}$ and $I^{-}$ ions are bigger in size

Chlorine is a gas

$B r_{2}$ and $I_{2}$ are more electronegative

Inability of bromine and iodine to oxidize $P b^{2 +}$ to $P b^{4 +}$

Correct answer is (a) $B r^{-}$ and $I^{-}$ ions are bigger in size

Q. PbCl4​ exists but PbBr4​ and PbI4​ do not because of

Br−and I−ions are bigger in size

Chlorine is a gas

Br2​ and I2​ are more electronegative

Inability of bromine and iodine to oxidize Pb2+ to Pb4+

Correct answer is (a) Br−and I−ions are bigger in size
