Question

Stability order of group IIIA (boron family) element is:
  1. Ga3+>Ga+
  2. Ga+<In+<Tl+
  3. none of the above
  4. both (A) and (B)

A
Ga3+>Ga+
B
both (A) and (B)
C
Ga+<In+<Tl+
D
none of the above
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Inert pair effect may be defined as inertness of the ns sub-shell towards chemical reaction. It is seen in groups 3A and 4A especially (5s and 6s electrons). Therefore, Pb shows mainly +2 oxidation state frequently, as compared to +4 oxidation state.
