    The stability of \[BC{{l}_{3}}\] is higher as compared to \[TIC{{l}_{3}}\] is due to

    A)  +3 oxidation state of \[TI\]

    B)  +3 oxidation state of\[B\]

    C)  absence of inert pair effect in \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]

    D)  presence of inert pair effect in \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]is stable as compared to \[\text{TIC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\] because in\[BC{{l}_{3}}\] inert -pair effect is absent and due to which B shows +3 oxidation state. On moving down the group, the inert pair effect increases therefore, thallium shows +1 oxidation sate and this oxidation state is more stable than +3 oxidation state.
