The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect stability order of +3 and +1 oxidation states of the 13th group elements (boron family), we will analyze the stability of these oxidation states for each element in the group: boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium (Tl). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Oxidation States**: - The 13th group elements can exhibit +1 and +3 oxidation states. - The +3 oxidation state is generally more stable for lighter elements like boron and aluminum. - As we move down the group, the +1 oxidation state becomes more stable due to the inert pair effect. 2. **Inert Pair Effect**: - The inert pair effect refers to the tendency of the s-electrons (the 'inert pair') to remain non-bonding in heavier p-block elements. - This effect leads to an increased stability of the +1 oxidation state compared to the +3 state for heavier elements. 3. **Stability Order of Oxidation States**: - For boron (B) and aluminum (Al), the +3 state is more stable. - For gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium (Tl), the +1 state becomes increasingly stable. - Therefore, the general trend in stability for the 13th group elements is: - B: +3 > +1 - Al: +3 > +1 - Ga: +3 > +1 - In: +1 > +3 - Tl: +1 > +3 4. **Evaluating Options**: - We are given various options to identify the incorrect stability order. - We need to check each option against the established stability trends. 5. **Identifying the Incorrect Order**: - If an option states that +3 is more stable than +1 for indium (In) or thallium (Tl), it would be incorrect. - Conversely, if an option states that +1 is more stable than +3 for boron or aluminum, it would also be incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the incorrect stability order will be the one that contradicts the established trends, particularly for the heavier elements (In and Tl). ### Final Answer: The incorrect stability order of +3 and +1 states of 13th group elements is the one that suggests +3 is more stable than +1 for indium or thallium.
