Comprehension (31 to 33)
According to inert pair effect the lower oxidation state becomes more stable on descending
the group. The effect is commonly ascribed to the stability of an electron configuration with
entirely filled subshells in the inert pair effect, a metal loses all the p electrons in its outer
most subshell, leaving a filled s2 subshell, the pair of s-electrons seems relatively "inert"
and is less easily removed.
