The stability of group 14 tetrahalides decreases down the group whereas stability of dihalides increases down the group

Q. The thermal stability order group 14 halides is

$G e X_{2} < S i X_{2} < S n X_{2} < P b X_{2}$

$S i X_{2} < G e X_{2} < S n X_{2} < P b X_{2}$

$S i X_{2} < G e X_{2} < P b X_{2} < S n X_{2}$

$P b X_{2} < S n X_{2} < G e X_{2} < S i X_{2}$

The stability of group 14 tetrahalides decreases down the group whereas stability of dihalides increases down the group

Q. The thermal stability order group 14 halides is

GeX2​<SiX2​<SnX2​<PbX2​

SiX2​<GeX2​<SnX2​<PbX2​

SiX2​<GeX2​<PbX2​<SnX2​

PbX2​<SnX2​<GeX2​<SiX2​

The stability of group 14 tetrahalides decreases down the group whereas stability of dihalides increases down the group

$G e X_{2} < S i X_{2} < S n X_{2} < P b X_{2}$

$S i X_{2} < G e X_{2} < S n X_{2} < P b X_{2}$

$S i X_{2} < G e X_{2} < P b X_{2} < S n X_{2}$

$P b X_{2} < S n X_{2} < G e X_{2} < S i X_{2}$
