    The stability of +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence

    A) \[Al<Ga<\ln <Tl\]

    B) \[Tl<\ln \,<Ga<Al\]         

    C) \[\ln <Tl<Ga<Al\]

    D) \[Ga<\ln <Al<Tl\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea Stability of lower oxidation states increases on moving down a group due to inert pair effect. The given elements belong to third group. These elements mainly exhibit +3 and -H oxidation state. As we know the stability of lower oxidation state, ie, +1 state, increases on moving down a group, the sequence of stability is Al < Ga < In < Tl
