The stability of +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence
Options
- AGa < In < Al < TI
- BAl < Ga < In < TI
- CTl < In < Ga < Al
- DIn < Tl < Ga < Al
Correct answer
B. Al < Ga < In < TI
Step-by-step solution
The stability of +1 oxidation state among Al, Ga , In and Tl increases in the sequence Al < Ga < In < Tl This is due to inert pair effect due to which on moving down the group, the stability of +3 oxidation state decreases while stability of +1 oxidation state increases.
