Taking stability as the factor, which one of the following represent the correct relationship?
  1. TlI>TlI3
  2. TlCl3>TlCl
  3. InI3>InI
  4. AlCl>AlCl3

Solution

Due to the inert pair effect, +1 state stability increases down the group and +3 state stability decreases down the group. Hence, Tl+ is more stable than Tl3+. Hence, TlI is more stable than TlI3.
