The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

When lead ions (Pb2+) react with chloride ions (Cl), a white precipitate of lead(II) chloride (PbCl2​) forms.
This precipitate is soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid due to formation of tetrachloroplumbate (II) ion
white precipitate of lead(II) chloride
So the correct answer option is (C)

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
