Group 13 elements exhibit

A

only `+3` oxidation state

B

Only `+1` oxidation state

C

Both `+1` and `+3` oxidation states

D

`+1,+2` and `+3` oxidation states

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
as there are electrons in the valance shell of group 13 elements they show `+3` oxidation state. Also in case of heavier members, due to inert pair effect, `+1` oxidation state is most stable.
