The correct Answer is:
To determine the oxidation state of Thallium (Tl) in the compound \( \text{TlI}_3 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Isomorphic Relationship We are given that \( \text{TlI}_3 \) is isomorphic with \( \text{CsI}_3 \). This means that the structure and stoichiometry of both compounds are similar. ### Step 2: Analyze the Composition of \( \text{CsI}_3 \) In \( \text{CsI}_3 \): - Cesium (Cs) has an oxidation state of +1. - Iodine (I) typically has an oxidation state of -1. The formula can be broken down as: \[ \text{Cs}^{+1} + 3 \text{I}^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Total Charge in \( \text{CsI}_3 \) The total charge from the iodide ions in \( \text{CsI}_3 \) is: \[ 3 \times (-1) = -3 \] To balance this, the charge from cesium is +1, leading to a net charge of: \[ +1 + (-3) = -2 \] ### Step 4: Analyze the Composition of \( \text{TlI}_3 \) Since \( \text{TlI}_3 \) is isomorphic to \( \text{CsI}_3 \), it will have a similar structure: - Let the oxidation state of Thallium (Tl) be \( x \). - The total charge from the three iodide ions remains the same: \[ 3 \text{I}^{-1} = -3 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation for \( \text{TlI}_3 \) The equation for the total charge in \( \text{TlI}_3 \) can be set up as follows: \[ x + 3(-1) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 3 = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for the Oxidation State of Thallium Solving the equation gives: \[ x = 3 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the oxidation state of Thallium (Tl) in \( \text{TlI}_3 \) is +1. ### Final Answer The oxidation state of Tl in \( \text{TlI}_3 \) is **1**. ---
