    Which is least stable compound?

    A)  \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]                 

    B)  \[GaC{{l}_{3}}\]

    C) \[\ln C{{l}_{3}}\]                              

    D)  \[TIC{{l}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     B, Al, Ga, In and Tl are placed in group 13 in long form of periodic table. All these elements form \[M{{X}_{3}}\] type halides. On moving down the group, the inert pair effect becomes more and more pronounced therefore, in Tl, + 1 oxidation state is more stable than + 3 oxidation state. Due to which, it is least stable.
