MCQ
Which of the following species do not exist?
  • A
    $\mathrm{PbF}_4$
  • B
    $\mathrm{PbCl}_4$
  • C
    $\mathrm{PbO}_2$
  • $\mathrm{PbI}_4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathrm{PbI}_4$
$\mathrm{PbF}_4$ exists but $\mathrm{Pbl}_4$ does not exist as $\mathrm {I_2}$ reduces $\text{Pb(II)}$ to $Pb$ and oxidizes $I$ to $\mathrm {I_2}$​. Since, $\mathrm {I_2}$ is not strong reducing agent to reduce Pb(II) to $Pb.$
