Group 13 elements show +1 and +3 oxidation states. Relative statibility of +3 oxidation may be given as

A

`Ti^(3+)gtIn^(3+)gtGa^(3+)gtAl^(3+)gtB^(3+)`

B

`B^(3+)gtAl^(3+)gtGa^(3+)gtIn^(3+)gtTi^(3+)`

C

`Al^(3+)gtGa^(3+)gtIn^(3+)gtB^(3+)`

D

`Al^(3+)gtB^(3+)gtGa^(3+)Ti^(3+)gtIn^(3+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Stability of +3 oxidation state decreases down the group because of inerg pair effect. Therefore, it is the correct sequence

  • The heavier elements of groups 13 and 14 besides the group oxidation state exhibit another oxidation state which is two units lower than the group oxidation state and the stability of this lower oxidation state increases down the group. This concept which is commonly called inert pair effect has been used to explain many physical and chemical properties of the element of these groups. Element of group 13
