Question

Which of the following statement is correct with respect to the property of elements with an increase in atomic number in the carbon family (group 14)

  1. Atomic size decrease  
  2. Ionization energy increase  
  3. Metallic character decrease  
  4. Stability of +2 oxidation state increase  

The correct answer is: Stability of +2 oxidation state increase


    As we go down the group inertness of n s to the power of 2 end exponent pair increase hence tendency to exhibit +2 oxidation state increases and that of +4 oxidation state decreases.
