Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : The stability order of +1 oxidation state of Ga, In and Tl is Ga < In < Tl.

Reason (R) : The inert pair effect stabilizes the lower oxidation state down the group.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The relative stability of +1 oxidation state progressively increases for heavier elements due to inert pair effect.

∴ Stability of
