NEETChemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)
Consider the following statements about group 13 elements A. AlCl ₃ gets stability by forming a dinner B. BCl ₃ is an electron deficient molecule C. E _ M ³⁺ _ M ^0 ^0( ~V ) is +1.26 for aluminium D. In +1 oxidation state thallium is unstable The incorrect statements are
Options
- AC & D only
- BA & B only
- CA & D only
- DB & C only
Correct answer
A. C & D only
Step-by-step solution
AlCl ₃ gets stability by forming a dimer due to availability of d orbital, BCl ₃ is an e ⁻ deficient molecule because the outermost orbit shows only 6 e ⁻ after bonding with Cl atom. Hence it get stabilise by back bonding.
