Select INCORRECT about inert pair effect.

A

It is observed effectively in lighter post transition elements

B

Lower oxidation state is due to loss of electrons from ns orbital and retention of np electrons

C

D

Ga(III) compound obtain by difficulty but TI(III) can be obtained easily

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statements about the inert pair effect, we will analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Inert Pair Effect**: The inert pair effect refers to the tendency of the outermost s-electrons (ns) in heavier p-block elements to remain non-bonding or inert during chemical reactions. This results in the stability of lower oxidation states. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - **Statement**: "It is observed effectively in lighter post-transition elements." - **Analysis**: The inert pair effect is primarily observed in heavier p-block elements, not lighter ones. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - **Statement**: "Lower oxidation state is due to loss of electron from Ns orbital and retention of Np electrons." - **Analysis**: The lower oxidation state results from the retention of ns electrons (not loss) while the np electrons participate in bonding. This statement is also **incorrect**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: - **Statement**: "In chloride of p-block metals, conversion of MxN giving MxN-2 plus X2." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct as it describes a reaction where a higher oxidation state compound (like PbCl4) can convert to a lower oxidation state compound (like PbCl2) due to the inert pair effect. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4 (D)**: - **Statement**: "Gallium plus 3 compound obtained by difficulty but Tl plus 3 compound can be obtained easily." - **Analysis**: This statement is misleading. While it is true that thallium can stabilize a +3 oxidation state, gallium typically does not form a stable +1 state as readily as thallium. Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the incorrect statements about the inert pair effect are: - Statement 1 (incorrect) - Statement 2 (incorrect) - Statement 4 (D) (incorrect) - Statement 3 is the only correct statement. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements about the inert pair effect are A, B, and D. ---
