What I deduce from your statement is that you are not sure of what you are doing. The reasons behind my deductions is that you did not use spell check, (usound s/b unsound), and that your so called question is in statement form rather than question format. You might have asked, "Is a deductive argument sound or unsound?"
Therefore, by example, I have not only proved that a deductive argument is sound, but also answered your question correctly.

It all depends on the premises (the arguments that are set forth that the deduction comes from).

All trees have leaves.
All leaves are green.
Therefore, all trees have green leaves.

That's an example of a deductive argument that is valid (makes sense logically) but is based upon bad premises (that all leaves are green - what about fall? and that all trees have leaves- what about winter?).

That doesn't mean that all deductive arguments are bad; you just have to know that the premises are good before you accept the conclusion.
