The stability of +1 oxidation state among Al, Ga, In and Tl increases in the sequence

  1. Al < Ga < In < Tl
  2. Tl < In < Ga < Al
  3. In < Tl < Ga < Al
  4. Ga < In < Al < Tl

Answer

(1) Al < Ga < In < Tl

Solution

As per NCERT, on moving down group 13 the inert pair effect increases: the ns2 electrons take less part in bonding.

the stability of the +1 oxidation state increases down the group (Tl+ is more stable than Tl3+).

Order of stability of +1 state: Al < Ga < In < Tl

Answer: (1)
