1.Ge(II) compounds are powerful reducing agents whereas Pb(IV) compounds are strong oxidants. It can be becausea.Pb is more electropositive than Geb.ionisation potential of lead is less than that of Gec.ionic radii of Pb2+Pb^{2+}Pb2+ and Pb4+Pb^{4+}Pb4+ are larger than those of Ge2+Ge^{2+}Ge2+ and Ge4+Ge^{4+}Ge4+d.more pronounced inert pair effect in leadLogin to continueOnly logged in users canattempt or see the solution.
