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)
- Atomic size decrease
- Ionization energy increase
- Metallic character decrease
- Stability of +2 oxidation state increase
The correct answer is: Stability of +2 oxidation state increase
As we go down the group inertness of 
pair increase hence tendency to exhibit +2 oxidation state increases and that of +4 oxidation state decreases.
