13th group or boron group
Question

The correct order of stability of +1 oxidation state of Group-13- elements follows :

Moderate
Solution

The common oxidation states of Group-13-elements are +3 and +1

          Down the group stability of ‘+1’ oxidation state of elements gradually increases

          For example, ‘+1’ oxidation state of Thallium is more stable than ‘+3’ oxidation state.  The phenomenon is referred to as inert pair effect.
