Detailed Solution

Pb2+5d106s2 has the most stable +2 oxidation state because here the d-orbital is completely filled and is more stable than Fe2+3d6. Again Ag+4d10 is more stable as here again the d-orbital is completely filled and Ag2+ is not easily obtained. Pb2+ is more stable compared to Sn2+4d105s2because of its large size.
