Aluminium becomes passive in nitric acid because it-

1. Is a noble metal

2. Forms a thin film of oxide

3. Has a positive reduction potential

4.  None of the above

The stability of the +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence:

1. Al <Ga<In<Tl

2. Tl<In<Ga<Al

3. In<Tl<Ga<Al

4. Ga<In<Al<Tl

${}_{}$
\(\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) reacts with-

The correct explanation for the lower atomic radius of Ga as compared to Al is -

1. Poor shielding effect of the 2d-electrons

2. Poor shielding effect of the 3d-electrons

3. Poor shielding effect of the 3p-electrons

4. Poor shielding effect of the 2s-electrons

Borax bead test is responded by:

1.  Divalent metals

2.  Heavy metals

3.  Light metals

4.  Metal which forms coloured metaborates
