Detailed Solution

Pb+2 is more stable than Pd+4
Due to inert pair effect Pb+2 is stable
Due to poor shielding effect by completely filled d-oritals of inner shell, the valency S-orbital e-s(6s) are strongly attracted by nucleus .Hence S-orbital electron pair does not involve in bonding this is said to be inert pair effect
large therefore Pb+2 oxidation state is more stable than pb+4

electronic configuration of Pb+2 ---  [Xe]6S2 6P0

It is not half-filled configuration
