Taking stability as the factor, which one of the following represents the correct relationship?
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the stability of the given compounds based on their oxidation states.The stability of compounds is often influenced by the oxidation state of the central atom.Let's examine each option:• Option 1: - Thallium (Tl) can exist in +1 and +3 oxidation states. - The +1 oxidation state is more stable for thallium due to the inert pair effect. - Therefore, TlCl is more stable than TlCl_3.• Option 2: - Indium (In) can exist in +1 and +3 oxidation states. - The +3 oxidation state is more stable for indium. - Therefore, InI_3 is more stable than InI.• Option 3: - Aluminum (Al) typically exists in the +3 oxidation state. - AlCl_3 is the stable form, as AlCl does not exist.• Option 4: - Similar to thallium chloride, thallium iodide (TlI) is more stable than TlI_3 due to the inert pair effect. - The +1 oxidation state is favored for thallium, making TlI more stable.Analyzing the options, Option 4 correctly represents the stability relationship:• TlI is more stable than TlITherefore, the correct option is Option 4.
