Tl(OH)3 is less basic than TlOH. Why ?...

`Tl(OH)_3` is less basic than `TlOH`. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Tl(OH)` is less basic than TIOH. The polarising power of `Tl^(3+)` is more than `Tl^(1+)` .
Tl-O bond is TI`(OH)_3` becomes stronger than that in TlOH. As `Tl-O` bond becomes stronger, release of `OH^-` ion becomes less possible. Hence, basic nature of `Tl(OH)_3` is less. Basic strength of `TlOH ~~ NaOH`.
