Which one of the following elements is unable to
form M63- ion?
B
Al
Ga
In
As we learnt that
Isolation Energy of Boron Family -
Does not decreases regularly down the group
- wherein
Discontinuity between Al and Ga, and In and Tl is due to inability of d and f electrons (low screening effect) to compensate the increase in nuclear charge
B belongs to 2nd period and it does not have vacant d - orbital
Option 1)
B
This is correct.
Option 2)
Al
This is incorrect.
Option 3)
Ga
This is incorrect.
Option 4)
