Which of the following sequence is not correct for the property mentioned against it?
Which of the following sequence is not correct for the property mentioned against it?
(the lewis acid strength)
(increasing oxidising power)
(stability of +1 oxidation state)
(stability of +1 oxidation state)
Solution
As due to inert pair effect stability of lower oxidation state increases down the group. So order given in option 3 is incorrect and the correct order is in given in option 4 here. Properties given in option 1 and 2 are in correct order.
