MCQ
$PbI_4$ does not exist because
  • A
    iodine is not a reactive
  • $Pb(IV)$ is oxidizing and $I^-$ is strong reducing agent
  • C
    $Pb(IV)$ is less stable than $Pb(II)$
  • D
    $Pb^{4+}$ is not easily formed

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Pb(IV)$ is oxidizing and $I^-$ is strong reducing agent
b
$PbI_4$ does not exist because the iodine reduces the lead to $Pb\,(II)$ and the $Pb$ oxidizes the iodine to iodine$(I_2)$. Since the iodine is not a strong reducuing agent to reduce $Pb ( II )$ to $Pb$, the compound $PbI_2$ is formed.
