प्रश्न
Rationalise the given statement and give a chemical reaction:
Lead is known not to form an iodide, PbI4.
उत्तर
Lead is known not to form PbI4. Pb (+4) is oxidising in nature and I- is reducing in nature. A combination of Pb(IV) and iodide ion is not stable. Iodide ion is strongly reducing in nature. Pb(IV) oxidises I– to I2 and itself gets reduced to Pb(II).
\[\ce{PbI_4 -> PbI_2 + I_2}\]
