Question

Which is not correct?

• A. $Ge(O{H}_2)$ is amphoteric.
• B. $GeC{l}_2$ is more stable than $GeC{l}_4$.
• C. $Ge{O}_2$ is weakly acidic.
• D. $GeC{l}_4$ in $HCl$ forms $[GeCl{]}^{2-}$ ion.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$G{e}^{4+}$ is more stable than $G{e}^{2+}$, thus $GeC{l}_4$ is more stable than $GeC{l}_2$.
