    Which of the following species is not stable?
    (1) ``[SiF_6]^{2-}``
    (2) ``[GeCl_6]^{2-}``
    (3) ``[Sn(OH)_6]^{2-}``
    (4) ``[SiCl_6]^{2-}``
    digAnsr:   4
    Ans : ( 4 )
    Sol. • Due to presence of d-orbital in Si, Ge and
    Sn they form species like SiF
    6
    2-, [GeCl
    6
    ]2-,
    [Sn(OH)
    6
    ]2-
    • SiCl
    6
    2- does not exist because six large
    chloride ions cannot be accommodated
    around Si4+ due to limitation of its size.
