Question

The correct statements from the following are :
(A) $Tl^{3 +}$ is a powerful oxidising agent
(B) $Al^{3 +}$ does not get reduced easily
(C) Both $Al^{3 +}$ and $Tl^{3 +}$ are very stable in solution
(D) $Tl^{+}$ is more stable than $Tl^{3 +}$
(E) $Al^{3 +}$ and $Tl^{+}$ are highly stable
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(i) True, T ℓ + is more stable than T ℓ 3 + , due to inert pair effect. So T ℓ 3 + is a powerful oxidising agent. (ii) True, E Al 3 + / A 1 0 ​ = − 1.66 V . So it is difficult to reduce A ℓ 3 + . So A ℓ 3 + is highly stable. (iii) False, as T ℓ 3 + is unstable (iv) True, T ℓ + is more stable than T ℓ 3 + (v) True, A ℓ 3 + and T ℓ + are highly stable
