Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason RR.

Assertion A:A: In TlI3,Tl{I}_{3}, isomorphous to CsI3{CsI}_{3}, the metal is present in +1+ 1 oxidation state.

Reason R:R: TlTl metal has fourteen ff electrons in its electronic configuration.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AAA is correct but RR is not correct
  2. BBoth AA and RR are correct and RR is the correct explanation of AA
  3. CAA is not correct but RR is correct
  4. DBoth AA and RR are correct but RR is NOTNOT the correct explanation of AA

Correct answer

D. Both AA and RR are correct but RR is NOTNOT the correct explanation of AA

Step-by-step solution

TℓI3⇒(Tℓ⊕ and I3⊝)Tℓ{I}_{3} ⇒ \left(T{ℓ}^{⊕} \text{ and } {I}_{3}^{⊝}\right)

CsI3⇒(Cs⊕ and I3⊝){CsI}_{3} ⇒ \left({Cs}^{⊕} \text{ and } {I}_{3}^{⊝}\right)

[Both have same crystalline structure is called isomorphous]

Tℓ(81)⊕=[Xe54]4f14,5d10,6s2T{ℓ}_{\left(81\right)}^{⊕} = \left[{Xe}_{54}\right]4{f}^{14}, 5{d}^{10}, 6{s}^{2}

(It is correct due to present 14f14f electrons in Tℓ⊕{Tℓ}^{⊕} ion)

TlI3Tl{I}_{3} is Tℓ+I3−T{ℓ}^{+}{I}_{3}^{-}

CSI3{CSI}_{3} is Cs+I3−{Cs}^{+}{I}_{3}^{-}

Thallium shows Tℓ+T{ℓ}^{+} state due to inert pair effect.
