In some of the reactions thallium resembles aluminium, whereas in others it resembles with group $-I$ metals. Support this statement by giving some evidences. 

Aluminum dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalis and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminum foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning match stick near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn't proceed. Explain the reason.
