Assertion (A) : PbCl2{PbCl}_2 is more stable than PbCl4{PbCl}_4.

Reason (R) : PbCl4{PbCl}_4 is powerful oxidising agent.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. The stability of PbCl2{PbCl}_2 is due to the inert pair effect, not its oxidizing power.
