Which of the following Group 13 elements forms a stable +1 oxidation state?
Boron
Aluminium
Gallium
Indium
Indium is the only Group 13 element that forms a stable +1 oxidation state. This is because it has a valence electron configuration of , which allows it to lose one valence electron and form a stable +1 oxidation state. The other Group 13 elements, including boron, aluminium, and gallium, all form stable +3 oxidation states. Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
