Taking stability as the factor, which one of the following represent the correct relationship?
Options
- ATlI > TlI 3
- BTlCl 3 > TlCl
- CInI 3 > InI
- DAlCl > AlCl 3
Correct answer
A. TlI > TlI 3
Step-by-step solution
Due to the inert pair effect, +1 state stability increases down the group and +3 state stability decreases down the group. Hence, Tl + is more stable than Tl 3 + . Hence, TlI is more stable than TlI 3 .
