AI Generated Solution

To explain why the +1 oxidation state in group 13 and the +2 oxidation state in group 14 become more stable with increased atomic number, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Oxidation States**: - Group 13 elements can exhibit +1 and +3 oxidation states. The +1 oxidation state is achieved by losing one electron from the p-orbital. - Group 14 elements can exhibit +2 and +4 oxidation states. The +2 oxidation state is achieved by losing two electrons from the p-orbital. ...
