    The stability of +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence                  [AIPMT (S) 2009]

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

    B) \[Tl<In<Ga<Al\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] 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
