99 Percentile Qs Bank for JEE MainChemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)
The stability of +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence
Options
- ATl   <   In   <   Ga   <   Al
- BIn   <   Tl   <   Ga   <   Al
- CGa   <   In   <   Al   <   Tl
- DAl   <   Ga   <   In   <   Tl
Correct answer
D. Al   <   Ga   <   In   <   Tl
Step-by-step solution
Group -   13 elements exhibit + 3 and + 1 oxidation states. Stability of the lower oxidation state increases on moving down the group due to inert pair effect. Al +   <   Ga +   <   In +   <   Tl +
