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.

In the structure of diborane ______.
Aluminium dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalies and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminium foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning matchstick near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn’t proceed. Explain the reason.
