JEE Main201911 Jan 2019Evening ShiftChemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)Actual
The relative stability of +1 oxidation state of group 13 elements follows the order
Options
- AAl < Ga < Tl < In
- BT 1 < In < Ga < Al
- CGa < Al < < Tl
- DAl < Ga < In < Tl
Correct answer
D. Al < Ga < In < Tl
Step-by-step solution
Due to inert pair effect, the stability of +1 oxidation state increases down the group. Thus, correct order of stability is Al < Ga < In < Tl
