Rationalise the given statements and give chemical reactions: Lead (II) chloride reacts with Cl2 to give PbCl4. Lead (IV) chloride is highly unstable towards heat. Lead is known not to form an iodide Pbl4.

Answer is explained on the basis of inert pair effect. this is observed in p-block, on movind down the group in p-block because of poor sheilding of d & f electrons in inner shells of element ns2 electrons strongly attracted by nucleus and do not participate in chemical reaction and so Pb2+ is more stable than Pb4+

How would you explain the lower atomic radius of Ga as compared to Al?

Ga is present in 3rd period after the d-block in the periodic table, In this due to poor shielding effect of d electron effective nuclear charge increases that pull outershell electron more strongly hence has smaller size.
