Account for the following observations:
PbO2 is a stronger oxidising agent than SnO2
उत्तर
PbO2, lead is in +2 oxidation state and can be reduced to its most stable oxidation state of +2. Hence PbO2 can be further exidised or act as a strong oxidising agent. and in SnO, Sn is and +2 oxidation state and can extend its oxidation state up to +4. Thus, SnO can be used as a reducing agent.
