Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
(i) True, 
is more stable than 
, due to inert pair effect. So 
is a powerful oxidising agent.
(ii) True, 
. So it is difficult to reduce 
. So 
is highly stable.
(iii) False, as 
is unstable
(iv) True, 
is more stable than 
(v) True, 
and 
are highly stable
