The possible oxidation state of $Tl$ are
$+1$ and $+2$
$+2$ and $+3$
$+1$ and $-1$
$+1$ and $+3$
Explain structures of diborane and boric acid.
Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$: In group $13$, the stability of $+1$ oxidation state increases down the group.
Statement $II$: The atomic size of gallium is greater than that of aluminium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Assertion : Coloured cations can be identified by borax bead test.
Reason : Transparent bead $(NaBO_2 + B_2O_3)$ forms coloured bead with coloured cation.
Assertion : Both $Be$ and $Al$ can form complexes such as $BeF_4^{2-}$ and $AlF_6^{3-}$ respectively, $BeF_6^{3-}$ is not formed.
Reason : In case of $Be$, no vacant $d-$ orbitals are present in its outermost shell.
The stability of $+ 1$ oxidation state among $Al,Ga, In$ and $Tl$ increases in the sequence
