S1-Pb2- is more stable because of inert effect- I-x2212- being larger has the tendency to lose the electron easily-S2- Smaller and highly electronegative elements like F-x2212- can stabilize the higher oxidation state not I-x2212-

S1:Pb2+ is more stable because of inert effect. I− being larger has the tendency to lose the electron easily.S2: Smaller and highly electronegative elements like F− can stabilize the higher oxidation state not I−.

$S_{1} : P b^{2 +}$ is more stable because of inert effect. $I^{-}$ being larger has the tendency to lose the electron easily.
$S_{2}$ : Smaller and highly electronegative elements like $F^{-}$ can stabilize the higher oxidation state not $I^{-}$ .
